Ouch! Into the bin it goes.
Hans_S:
Spent some time today going through a cupboard trying to locate the source of a rather acrid smell. Turned out to be some elderly acetate decomposing into ascetic acid. "Ouch" as it now lists at around $7 per sheet :(
Perhaps this should have gone in the Death & Decay thread...
Birna Rørslett:
They would fare a bit better if you had put them into the deepfreezer :) Sheet film 5x7", now that is serious business. I mainly used 4x5" and a few times 8x10", but costs were prohibitive for the latter (I used colour not b/w).
I think there still are a few sheets of 4x5" colour film in my freezer, but using them these days is more tricky as most film labs have shut down long ago.
Hans_S:
After an overnight airing the FP4 smells a lot better...as it should, it's a polyester rather than acetate base :)

Often happens in my kitchen, and the clean-up takes weeks!

Ha, some of our pickling/kim chi experiments have been like that too ;D ;D However, in this case the culprits are on-the-nose negs that have buckled bases and cracked emulsion :o
