I am using PEC-12 with PEC PADS on "dirty" negs as a first step. I found an anti-static brush (StaticMaster) which is plutonium charged. It seems to work well on my neg strips. But, I was wondering if anyone had any comments on if it is a gimmick (any soft brush would work) I assume the plutonium

This may be slightly OT, but I had to respond. In short, most of what you "know" about plutonium is BS. Plutonium in small quantities is no more dangerous than other radioactive substances. That "one atom" nonsense is pure hype, invented by those with various political/economic/social agendas.

I think we've had this argument before, about two years ago. Perhaps it is true that Plutonium is not as risky as once reported, but individual response to ionizing radiation is just that, and therefore a relative unknown, so I prefer to err on the side of caution, and would recommend others do
