Re: Damaged (flooded) 8mm film

Thanks guys,
However was hoping someone would come up with a "soak and wash in film renew, then flush with xxxx chemical that will refix and stabilise the emulsion". Any ideas on "refixing" the emulsion?

Damaged (flooded) 8mm film

I have a 200ft reel of a 1950 film. Unfortunately it got flooded a few years ago and is now very mouldy! If you try to rub the mold off, the image comes off too! So any cleaning using a rubbing technique won't work. How can I "fix" the image before cleaning?

Has anyone got any suggestions as to how ...
