Im not sure if this question has been asked.
but i need to know
is there a final stage of film that cannot be saved by soaking in filmrenew?

i found rolls of film that were dry,folded and spread out in cans. im sure you know what i mean.

do they still stand a chance?

ok i guess i mean that if i soak the reel in filmrenew for a week? and dry it later.
will be be as good as new?

Louis, it seems like a way to go. Do a test on a reel. After soaking, seal the reel inside a film can for at least a month.
