  Actually I was hoping the supplier could make
them to fit.

  For viewer use, the bare Albion works okay.
A bigger problem than stiffness is that the
channel on one ends up hooking on the next slide
when you store them together. There is a moderate
risk of scratching your slides if you aren't
careful.

  But you can store perhaps 500 slides in one
of those Plano boxes that we on the list often
talk about.

  With my (most in) bare Albion method, I have
to laugh when people here discuss which place
has the Plano box for $1 less. Wow... $1 savings
divided by 500 slides :)

  It is a bigger deal for glass or other thick
mounted slides, so I'm not really making fun
of your penny pinchers.

  I'd say the blue Reel 3-D foldovers are somewhat
ugly. Though they look pretty nice when George
tapes all the edges with his black tape. What tape
do you use George?

  The 3400 frames look much better. Less nice if
you put the acetate sleeve over top, which is why
I like the single piece inside the 3400 frame method.
