	Look for those little raised dots on the pulls of the darkslides.
Anything with 5 riased dots is supposed to be IR safe, while less than 5
raised dots is nto IR safe.
	If your holder has 5 raised dots and is still ofggin,t eh sources is
elsewhere, from a bad holder (warping?) to a bellows leak to poor seating,
etc.  Check it and let us know what you find.
