Now I know this is a completely ancient thread, but it is the first I had heard of the 'warm water' treatment to get emulsion scratches out. I unfortunately am having to sell up all my gear and movies to pay medical bills, and I had one reel that has a deep green emulsion scratch in it, right down the middle. Does this technique reduce deep scratch much? I don't feel I can sell the film with the way it is at the moment.

Pete, so sorry that you're in a bad way.

A green scratch means that the emulsion itself is damaged to the point that part of it is actually gone. The warm water treatment can help lighter ones, but not where a dye layer is missing. So sorry to have to tell you that, too.
