I'd be interested in hearing any tips, as well. I got a great set of
about 25 slides, probably someone's pride and joy because they came
along with a viewer and a case, and the pictures spanned about 4 years.

All mounted in glass, and all suffering from what looks like mold.
Colors are beautiful, the stereo is excellent, all hand mounted in
realist masks (one in a circular mask), and I'd love to find a way to
preserve them a little better. I'm afraid to even separate the glass.
