Re: [APML] Warped slides, what can I do?

Hi Chris

Don't laugh, but can you drill out the two spots where they heat riveted
the holders? Try it on a spare/blank slide first. Or is the heat sealing
all along the edges?
The other possible solution might be to place the slides between two
pieces of cardboard with a weight on it in a very warm location. Then
after a few hours move the whole thning to a cooler room temp location.
I have not tried either of these solutions so take them for what they
are worth. Ramblings from a MAD man (job title), also some plastics have
memory and heat from a projector may cause them to bend again.
