goterps04 Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 04/09/2020 12:37 am Thanks in advance. Still trying to figure out how to get the best photos with my new USB microscope camera. The focus knob is pretty coarse. Report this Post to the Staff

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 04/09/2020 4:13 pm As to the reverse, I have seen this before. Early Whitman folders had a "gluey" substance in the hole which creates the vertical pattern that you see. I know of no cure for this 'damage.' Report this Post to the Staff
goterps04 Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 04/09/2020 4:39 pm I can't spot the vertical pattern you mention. Is an acetone bath something that is actually employed? Or is that "cleaning" Report this Post to the Staff
