Light seal set with mirror damper universal for Canon, Minolta, Nikon, Olympus & more

• Light leaks goodbye: protect your valuable shots from light leaks 
• Universal set suitable for all common analog cameras
• Easy handling: precisely pre-cut and self-adhesive
• With clever extra: special tweezers with integrated scraper included
• Extra material: enough for 2+ cameras in case the first application doesn't work immediately

Almost every analog camera you buy today on eBay & Co. has defective light seals that need to be replaced. Defective light seals crumble inside the camera and cause spotted negatives, light leaks, and in the worst case can damage your camera. 

With this universal sealing set, you can reseal all common models from Canon, Minolta, Olympus, Nikon & Co. yourself. 

Contents:

1. Printed step-by-step instructions in German & English
2. Cotton swabs for cleaning the old seals
3. Special tweezers with integrated seal scraper
4. Mirror stop dampers
5. Pre-cut light seals in various widths
6. Masking tape (serves as closure protection)

Additionally, you need: 

1. Some solvent, such as isopropanol (available at hardware stores)
2. Scissors for cutting the seals to the correct length

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Why aren't the seals tailored to every specific camera model? Answer: We run a camera repair workshop ourselves and have experimented with custom laser-cut seals in the past. The problem is that especially the very thin back door seals tend to tear easily when cutting in edges. Straight-cut seals can be placed just as well into the groove and tear less quickly. & are also universally usable. This way you can seal two different cameras with the same set.
2. Why is the universal light sealing set sold under different names? Answer: Not everyone is a camera expert. Many beginners don't know that they can also seal their camera with our universal set. To reach these customers, we sell our universal set under different names.
3. I have trouble inserting the thin sealing strips. Answer: Inserting the thin sealing strips requires skill and quite a bit of patience. Some dealers sell sealing strips & mats without adhesive. These are somewhat easier to insert, but you will need special flexible glue and a thin syringe to apply the glue. Because we know how fiddly this can be, our set contains enough strips to seal 2+ cameras. So if one of the strips twists, you have enough material to practice.

Instructions:

1. The video illustrates the process (German subtitles).
2. Open the camera's back, remove it if possible, and note the position of all old seals.
3. Use the masking tape to tape off and protect your camera's shutter curtain.
4. Use a small flathead screwdriver or the back part of the tweezers to carefully scrape off the old light seals.
5. If the old light seals are particularly stubborn, use isopropanol to soften the adhesive. Apply the liquid to the old seals with a cotton swab and wait a few minutes before trying to remove them again.
6. Carefully remove all seal residues and clean all surfaces where seals were previously glued with isopropanol.
7. Use tweezers to attach the new light seals to the camera body and make sure they are positioned correctly.
8. When dealing with tight sealing joints (especially at the back cover joint), make sure the seals do not twist. Gently pull at one end and use the back part of the tweezers to press them into the groove. 
   Note: It is normal for the camera's back door to be a bit harder to close with new seals. The new seals will adjust themselves over time.
9. Turn the camera over, remove the old mirror bumper & replace it (just like with the light seals).
10. Reinsert the camera's back cover and test the new light seals by taking some test shots in bright light.
