Here is a bit of an exclusive for COTEP and one of my other local sites... before I post this little how-to on some of the other sites...
A fairly common question... how do you take the roll marks off a slide.
The answer... lots of time...

Then, after a lot of time, and several sheets of 150 grit sand paper, progress begins to show... movement is forward and backward in a straight line...
