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.
This is a concentrate. The dilution ration for it is 1 part Photo-Flo to 200 parts 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.)
