Cleaning Kodak Wratten Gelatin Filters & Availability of 87B gel or

[Rolland Rainbow Elliott <X93ELLIOTT1@xxxxxxxxx>]

polyester filter?

Is there any way to safely clean a gel filter?  I have an 87C with an oil
smudge on it and another gel with some tape adhesive residue on it.  I tried
cleaning one gel with some lens cleaning solution, but it made it curl and I
wound up making more scratches in it, during the process.

Also does anyone know of a source of a thin 87B gel or polyester filter?  I
want to mount one BTFR (between the film rails) of my camera.  I read that
W.J. has a cokin sized version of this filter, but if I have to mess around
with taking a filter on and off my lens constantly, I'll probably never use it.

Thanks Rolland Elliott
