Hey All,

Urbanski no longer carries those white rolls of film cleaning cloth. Does anyone know who does? They are the best thing I have found and cut up nicely.

Thanks Brad

Hi Brad

I have some of these if you like. I think these are called Webber or Webore Wipes. Real soft about the size of paper towels. Don't have any rolls to sell, what I have is all that I have left. If you'd like to bring your prints up here this weekend I am home Saturday we can clean them on my hand cranks. I have also the Kelmar cleaner that works even better for cleaning 8/16mm. But you have to come here to use it.

I've always used cut up white cotton T-Shirts. Does Larry sell those I wonder??? [Smile]

They are called Ecco Flannel rolls, they were designed for the Ecco film cleaning machine. I have found a couple of places, but there supply is limited now. any feedback, would be great. Someone must still have some inventory of these, they were a popular, but expensive machine.

Thanks, Brad

I still have about half a roll of Urbanski cloth left and am hesitant to keep using it because it leaves such a huge amount of lint behind. Am I doing something wrong?

A 100% cotton t-shirt is in my editing/cleaning box at all times these days.
