It is easy to install a new set of seals in a vintage film camera. That service may be required a couple times during its lifetime. We can help you do a pro install. Light seal remove and install info.
As I have said before, the camera manufacturers finally were able to produce a very high quality open cell foam with a high cell count per cm in the middle 1960’s.
The engineers designed cameras to use that foam and never looked back.
We are stocking NA (Non-Adhesive) foam as,
NA Sheets 100 x 200mm, thicknesses of 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, and 4.0.
Also, NA Foam strips, perfect for 35mm body door channels. 1.5mm fits Nikon and Minolta cameras, and 2.0mm fit Canon A-Series very much like the original seals. Sold in packages of 10 pieces,
- 1mm x 1mm x 195L
- 1.5mm x 1.5mm x 195L
- 2.0mm x 2.0mm x 195L
- 2.5mm x 2.5mm x 195L
- 3.0mm x 3.0mm x 195L
We can custom cut most any seal you may require up to 350mm in length.

Non-adhesive foam is the favorite of professional camera techs. It is much easier to apply to camera body channels than foam with adhesive.
Pliobond is the best adhesive to use in cameras. Tools required to apply adhesive are MEK as a thinner, toothpicks, and a syringe 10ML size. I find a needle .80mm is the right size for me to apply adhesive most any place required in a photo equipment.
Plus, Installing NA foam is easier than yarn with out the “fuzzies”.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us. Michael is quite knowledgeable about light seal applications.
Lastly, I plan on making a video showing you exactly how easy and fast you can foam a camera with NA foam. I will make sure to add a link here.
Thanks for your continued support.
