You got a special trick to heat-damage?

[kb244]

I keep a fridge stocked of old film, dating 30 to 40 years old, most of which hasnt seen a fridge until I got ahold of them, as such I always expect a little bit of 100% fogging on them due to possible heat damage over the years. Normally would not be a problem, just kinda correct them in the scanner, and kinda learn to expect it when developing. It's a bit worse tonight as I developed a roll of Tri-X 400, so bit darker, not really a nusiance, but I remeber overhearing a co-worker say how there was something "Back in the day" that was meant as a de-fogging agent. Does anyone know what this method was, and also what methods do you guys use yourself for such.

On a side note.... when did kodak stop printing "Kodak Safty Film" with the word film in a triangle along the edge of the 120, just seemed odd to see on the roll of Tri-X as the only time I ever remeber seeing "Safty Film" was on an roll of 35mm film at work that hasnt been opened since the 30s.

I remember buying Kodak 126 film in the 70's that still has safety film printed on the edge, I used it in an old 126 rollei SLR that I had..At least I think I remember buying it in the 70's, Ron(PhotoEngineer) would be the one to answer on this markings, I believe he worked at Kodak during this time period.

I would guess if thats the case, its about the same age as the rest of the rolls, around 1972-1980 expiration.

There are several anti fog agents available on the market. I believe Edwal makes one and possibly Kodak. You can buy the chemical, too, and though I had it on the tip of my tongue when I started writing this, the name of it now eludes me. Ah, those senior moments. Anyhoo, a couple of drops in the developer helps a lot.
