Curled Negatives
I recently came across several curled Safety negatives circa 1938 in
one of my collections. I was wondering if there was a way to flatten
them out so that a print could be made. The emulsion is intact and
shows no other visible signs of deterioration. Someone made a
suggestion of warming them with a hair dryer on low to see if they would
relax. Of course, this sounded a little strange to me.
I would appreciate any suggestions on how to deal this.
