I have a old medium format film camera. Where can I get some of these solutions to clean the old seals off?
Cheers.

Lighter fluid or Isopropanol (rubbing alcohol) should do the job
You can also buy it online, very pure and $12 for a litre. http://www.purenature.co.nz/shop/Cosmetic+Ingredients/Solvents/Isopropyl+Alcohol%3Fsku=IPALTR.html a lot cheaper than buying it from a pharmacy who will probably sell you a tiny bottle for the same price (and not as strong)

Thanks! That's a much better price than the pharmacy!
Be aware that it evaporates very fast. I'd recommend pouring a little into a small container and maybe even add a little water to make it easier to work with. But the stuff is good, I bought a bottle for removing some tree sap from a car and been very happy with it, it has found quite a few other uses around the place, it's a very useful solvent
Many thanks. Just received my bottle (from Pure Nature). Yes much cheaper than the chemists, Jaycar etc.
