light seal

[gns]

Who is the light seal expert here?
I would like to make new light seals for my Plaubel Makina.
What should I use? Where do I get it?
Or, who can do it for me?

Thanks,
Gary

I highly super-duper recommend him. Bought a kit from him and he sent me custom instructions for the Canonet QIII QL17 and Yashica Electro 35. Great guy. Here's a link to a kit he sells:

I highly super-duper recommend him.

I'll second (or third) the recommendation of Jon's kits. He does sell a very generic kit as well as the camera-specific ones.

Than you.
I'll try one of Jon's kits.

Yes, you can use foam light seals. But my cheap super-genius solution is the soft part of Velcro. Buy the self-adhesive type by the foot at a fabric store, discard the hook part, then cut it to the correct width with an X-acto and a metal-edged ruler. Peel and stick, trim for length. Presto!
