For the film itself, I think Vitafilm is good stuff. I know some people
like it and some don't, but I'm a believer.

vinegar syndrome clean up

greetings fair fellow frameworkers....

i'm working with some slightly vinegarred film.... it's slight... but the
odor is definitely there... and the film is all twisty in the middle....

i'm going to reprint as much of it as i can by hand... but in the end, i
will need to run a few loops of this stuff through a couple of my
projectors (one of which is my favourite analysis projector)

so once i'm done with this project, i'll obviously need to clean the
projectors well... are there any special tips or instructions specifically
for cleaning up after vinegarred film?

will 99% isopropyl alcohol do the trick?
that's my plan... to take it all apart and simply clean the film path with
alcohol...

let me know if there's anything else i should do before using these
projectors again for clean film.

thanks so much,

amanda
