Hello,
I recently read that this chemical can be used to remove mold and fungus marks on old film before digitizing. Any help is appreciated.
Thank You

Photo-Flo is used to reduced water tension allowing water to run off film without leaving spots. It also helps the film dry more evenly. I would suggest contacting Kodak directly for advise on handling and cleaning damaged film. You could also try contacting an archivist at a local museum that specializes in photography.

Dumb question? I assume I still need to give my film a final squeegee after using Phot-Flo?
After you use Kodak Photo-Flo 200 Solution (16 oz), you do squeegee the film.

question
Is this a concentrate that I can dilute with water? My research tells me that we trying agents are used in the range of drops per hundreds of mL rinsing water.
Very concentrated, and if it is 1:200, that means you would add 5 ml of photo-flo to 1000 ml water or 1 liter water, if you prefer, or 2.5 ml to 500 ml water( 1/2 liter water).

I am using this as an additive to a phonograph cleaning machine. This can not leave any residue behind. The recording will also be vacuum dried.
Does anyone have experience here?
I am using it to recreate the mystery formula for the no-longer available Discwasher D4 fluid. According to online vinyl gurus: To 99% distilled water, 1% Isopropyl alcohol, add a single drop of Kodak Phot-Flo (as a wetting agent).
For me, it works beautifully. My use is a couple drops on a brush. Can't speak to using large amounts in a record-cleaning machine, but I wouldn't hesitate. (btw the one large drop I added was to the D4 bottle, which is 1.25 oz.)
