Every few month's I blow 125PSIG air through the slot that the darkslide
goes. I do the film rails, I do the inside of the bellows. I turn the changing
bag inside out and shake it out. I store the film in the boxes without any
modification. As they are made. I keep exposed film in the boxes months at
a time. No problem. In fact I just processed some film that got under my car
seat. It was there all summer! it was fine. I do have 7 Graphmatics. I find
using them really minimizes dust. IF KEPT CLEAN from the start.

I have just begun to load my 4 by 5 backs in the field in a small tent into which i insert my arms.
has anyone some advice on eradicating dust? Is a burst of compressed air between the slide
and the base of the darkslide-proper sufficient? I will need to store the exposed negatives for a
day or two before I can process them. Any advice on a suitable container if the kodak box is
not the most efficient? Should I line the boxes with some soft material?
thanks
