Take all of the seals out of the kit and lay them out on your work area. This kit includes,
Channel seals, camera body – 2 x 1mm
Hinge seal, camera body – 1 x 1mm
Mirror cushion – 1 x 2mm
The most important and time consuming work is removing the old seals. Focus on clean, clean, clean. Clean the old residue from the door channels, mirror cushion area, door hinge area and anywhere else you are replacing the seals. The finest adhesive in the world will not adhere to that sticky, gooey residue that was once a quality light seal. Proper installation will give you thousands of light tight exposures.

Dear Gray,
What a captivating story! I have placed an order for a Canon FTB QL, and your write up on light seal replacement was so enlightening. Firstly I didn’t even realize what the purpose of light seals were until I read your article, and many thanks for the same.
SLR cameras are coming back in fashion and I am sure your business will grow even more.
Best Wishes and a Happy New Year!
Regards,
Vijay
