A while back I mentioned using some water based black Neoprene-like roofing
material to patch bellows with. I've had really good luck with the stuff,
even totally restored the bellows on my 8x10 Ellwood enlarger c. 1948. (It
used to belong to Laura Gilpin so it's my pride and joy!)
The stuff works like magic! It's designed to withstand hot, cold, and the
UV on a tin roof in Tucson without losing its flexibility. Neat stuff.
Although I haven't tried it, it looks like it might fix up rubbberized
shutter curtains.
Anyway... I've been asked by some folks to acquire some for sale so's they
don't have to buy 5 gallons. Bostick & Sullivan now has it in 250 ml kits.
You also get a 4 inch by 1 foot strip of the Dacron fabric to bridge any
big holes. The 250 ml kit is $12.50. It's not a big profit item -- I'd
rather sell Pt salts all day!
