... or at least it tried.

NOT MY FAULT BUT

a glass of vodka got dumped on a batch of 120 b/w film.

the film is badly curled, wavy, wrinkled...

I tried soaking in room-temp water for about 4 hours with no real change.

any solutions?

Is it relatively pure vodka, or something with a lot of additives? My wife has been known to clean with vodka. I wouldn't expect pure vodka to be more damaging than isopropyl alcohol -- which is to say not at all. But I'm guessing.

Try rewashing the film followed by a long water soak and Photo Flo treatment. Presumably it's cut film -- hang to dry with weights if possible.
