"exotic"? how else would you splice helical scan video without major

Nice people. The original Magnasee, etc. used Freon as their carrier.
I believe that Kyread uses an HCFC as the medium. In any case, if my
experience is an indicator, do not store the bottle with the provided
dropper as a cap. In a few months, you'll be looking at a bottle with
brown dust in the bottom and little else. Use the original cap for storage.
One of my colleagues made his own! Just rust and a carrier (oil?)
He then used scotch tape to lift the developed image.
A few weeks from now, I'll pull that out of the FPUIB boxes.
