Be sure they thoroughly clean (aqueous rewash or ultrasonic solvent) the print before treatment, or you will permanently "seal in" any dirt. The overcoat should NOT be applied along the edges or between the perforations, where it will be abraded by the projector and flake off. http://www.3m.com/market/consumer/photogard/index.html http://www.3m.com/market/consumer/photogard/film.html http://dacarproducts.com/igard-div.html http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/support/processing/operating7.shtml#rewashing ------------------ John P.

Why not try some and I think you'll get a fairly accurate preview of what a permanent UV fired coating will do.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-24-2002 08:59 PM                     Contact IMAX-70mmInc as they do there own in house photoguarding that doesn't cover the perfs so you will not get as much powdering  |  IP: Logged
