I've found that a lot of sticky things, including sticker glue, is oil
soluble. So I just use a liberal amount of vegetable oil with a cloth to
dissolve the stuff and get rid of the goop. Then you are left with an
oily surface (you probably shouldn't use this method on cloth which

Hi
Some things change, some things don't. A few interesting things:
1) The film was made after they figured out that final etch was a key step.
Earlier in the war - not so much etch.
