1) film holder light leaks 2) roll film cutting

Hello:

1) I've acquired some 4 x 5 and 5 x 7 film holders thru both the generosity
of list members and eBay shopping.
Is there anything that can be done with holders declared to be 'leaky' by a
previous owner? I haven't tried them yet.

2) Has anyone here any experience with cutting film or paper from a full
roll with a homemade fixture? A local pro studio photographer says he just
made up a little fixture because he didn't do it often enough to but a
dedicated fixture, but I don't know if or when I'd be able to get to see
his.

I'm anticipating the arrival of my 5" roll film, but some realities are
sinking in - I have to cut it to size, I may not be able to tell which side
is which, there will probably be no notches, as it was made for continuous
use in shooting and development, and I will probably have to do my cutting
in batches (don't know where it'll get stored, but at least the garage is
cold for the winter).

Thanks

Murray
