I've a box of old negative lined up for scanning, some are 126 format (I think). Some of them appear to be quite brittle, and others have a sticky residue - possibly glue from the sleeve they were in. Is there anything I can use to remove that from the image area/surface of the negative? I have at least a couple of dud negs I can test it on...
and please use their services

Cotton buds and Isopropyl alchohol.
I managed to rescue a badly damaged negative that seemed to have had sticky tape on it using the above.
The alchohol will disolve the sticky residue and being non water based doesn't risk lifting the emulsion.
