[Frameworks] 16mm magnetic film for audio
Hello frameworkers, I’ve been given some reels of 16mm magnetic film and was wondering if anyone knows whether it’s possible to remove the magnetic coating somehow? Have tried bleach and water which has done nothing.

It's designed to be as hard as possible to remove the coating as possible, though you could try acetone if it's polyester-based stuff. If it's acetate, acetone will dissolve the base. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

May not be worth the trouble.The base itself may be opaque... Try scrapping with a razor blade to see.

Thanks Scott I’ll try the acetone, that’s basically nail varnish remover? Francisco, the base is clear as I’ve scratched at it with a pin. Wondering if there are chemicals which will remove the coating like when bleach can just remove the emulsion from film, but not sure what the magnetic coating is actually made of...

The magnetic coating is barn paint. It's ground up rust in vehicle that keeps it sticking to the base. If you're looking for clear base, though, it would seem a lot easier to trade the more-expensive magfilm to someone for less-expensive clear base. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
