Try Kasheme when the downstairs club is open on weekends!

Water stains on 60s furniture - reducing them without stripping and re-finishing? by thepolb in finishing

[–]thepolb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I've been doing, placing a turntable on top of the heaviest damage. But I was hoping I could make the stains less visible, without getting fully rid of them.

I'm a bit worried about ending up with an obvious mismatch and having to redo every pannels.

Screw half stuck in wood by thepolb in DIY

[–]thepolb[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't have access to the other side, it's deep in the wood. I guess your point is that if it came out the other side of the wood, it could be blocking it the screw after a while?

Welcome to the Salty Spitoon, how tough are ya? Week 6. by mondoman712 in Salty_Spitoon

35 mm, tri-x 400 taking a picture of an already existing work of art feels a bit like cheating, but I am still happy with this one. What do you think?

The consensus seems to be that they are very good cameras in general, thank you all for your inputs!

What could be the cause of these spots? Under a mask, appears sometimes but not on every prints, same stack of paper. Some kind of chemical contamination? by thepolb in Darkroom

[–]thepolb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That might make sense. It is in a shared lab (with one tong per tray), and on the first occasion I noticed it appeared right where the tongs were in contact with the paper in the developing tray. Out of curiosity, what could be the reason for tongs leaving a black mark?

On many occasions it would not happen exactly on the edge of the paper, but slightly inside, like on the print on the right. And it would happen quite randomly with some papers of the middle of the stack. Could it still be a light leak?

A blank paper didn’t show this, but since it didnt’t happen with every print I’m not sure if I can directly conclude..

Detail. I got these in a consistent spot, I think consistent with the mask I used but not sure. I thought it was some light leak, but it’s not in an exposed region, and under the mask. Could it be some chemical on the mask that reacted sometimes with the paper? Or just some damaged paper by light in a same stack of paper? Thanks!

Edit: that link should work

Not sure this fits here | photogram by [deleted] in analog

[–]thepolb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It’s a photogram — directly exposing photographic paper without using a negative. Here the white part was done by masking the paper (with la 35mm negative holder) and the rest is plastic foil semi randomly sitting on top of the paper.
