Wet scanning from Mexico

[Moník Molinet]

I am starting to learn wet scanning from Guadalajara Mexico using the Epson v850 with SilverFast and the Epson's fluid mount.
I found that the betterescaning page no longer works, that Kami fluid does not send liquid to Mexico and Lumina fluid does not even respond.

In forums I found that Gamsol can be a good fluid alternative, but so far I am finding it difficult to learn and advance on my own.

Any recommendations with wet scanning and types of fluids or processes that work well?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to Photrio @Moník Molinet !

I have no first hand experience to help you out, but I do know that the question of what kind of fluids can be used for wet scanning has been discussed several times before. For instance, there's mention of 10% mineral spirits and 90% naphta: https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/scanning-fluid-for-wet-mounting.151531/
I suspect the mineral spirits are mostly there to slow down the evaporation rate so you actually have enough time to mount and scan the film before the naphta is all gone.

I found that the betterescaning page no longer works

I think that business has ceased to be for some time now.
