Re: HIE scratches

["David J. Carlyon" <david@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks, I looked in my camera, and didn't find anything that I would think
would cause the problem. I don't wipe my negs down, I just use Photo-Flo
and hang them to dry. But I took a closer look at the negs and have a
theory now - there are multiple scratches on each of the cut pieces of
film, and they run through all the negs on each section, but the scratches
appear to be in different places in each section (by section, I mean negs
1-5, negs 6-10, etc.). So maybe I'm not giving it enough time to dry,
before sliding them the the neg sleeves? I probably should take another
roll of IR film and let it hang for a few hours, to make sure they're
utterly and completely dry, then see how they turn out.
