How to re-use old photo slide boxes with horrible green foam padding.

For many many years during the 1950s to the 1980s many producers in Europe (mostly Germany) produced beautiful wooden boxes to hold photo slides but they sadly added a strange green blue foam padding to the top insides of each box.
The problem is, after 30 or more years this foam turns into a weird green powder. And when you use these boxes and put in your old slides, the powder falls in between the slides and also attaches itself to the surface of the slides. In this case when the slides have no glass or plastic covering.

After some years the flakes from this powder permanently attach themselves to the surface of the slides and are almost impossible to remove. You also can destroy a photo slide by trying to remove the dust particles.

So my best tip. Is to take the wooden boxes. Get a paint scraper with a sharp edge and chisel out the foam as best as you can. Knock out the powder into the bin and then apply warm water to the inside top of the wooden box. Let that set for 5 minutes and then go back with your paint scraper and peel off the bottom glue layer of the foam. With a little muscle, you can get almost everything out.

Drain the water and dry the box with some kitchen paper. Use a vacuum cleaner to vacuum up all the fallen particles on the other side of the box.

Then leave the box open in a dry room for 2 or 3 days to fully fully dry out. You don’t want a wet wooden box holding your old slides… nope 😦

After that your finished.
It sounds like a lot of work but it really isn’t. Maybe 10 minutes max ! And then you can store your slides in the wooden box.

One last interesting thing. These slide boxes are normally more than 30 years old. They are very dry and normally so well made that they also give a very close air tight seal. They are an excellent option for storing your slides. Try and Dark 🙂

Here are 2 photos I did of the process.
Hope this helps 🙂

Dia-Kiste – Krieg farbdias

aus der sammlung Ian Spring ( pixpast.com )

Diese Dia-Kiste stammt aus dem Haus- und Inventarnachlass eines älteren Ehepaares. Durch die Anwesenheit eines Elches auf einem Dia vermute ich, dass die Soldaten während des 2. WK in Norwegen stationiert waren. Ungefähr 15 atemberaubende Landschaftsaufnahmen sind auch dabei, sowie Schnee, Einsamkeit, Jahreszeitenwechsel, Soldaten beim Flößen, auch private Fronturlaubsaufnahmen. Schauen sie sich einfach die Fotos an. Maße der Holzbox ca. L 25,5cm / B 30cm / T 8cm. Inhalt: 58 gerahmte Dias, 4 ungerahmte Dias, diverse Diakleinteile. Auf der Unterseite der Holzbox befindet sich ein beriebener Papieraufkleber mit der Info: Foto-Appel, Kaiserslautern, Fackelstr. 22, Tel. 750.

Israel’s Holocaust Memorial Ceremony Today.

I just wanted to take a minute out of my day to show my respect and sadness, when I think about the millions of innocent lives destroyed by the evils of Hitlers Germany and their allies.
Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals to name only a few of the groups targeted by this monster and his cronies.

Please God.. please put your protecting hand over these poor lost souls.

We should never forget and never let this happen again.
