Adox golf 45 bellows repair

2 years ago by Mikug to c/analogcommunity

So my camera has developed light leaks in the bellow. I've been wondering how to approach the repair. I've found a suggestion to use a mix of gum Arabic and India ink to patch the holes. Is this a good idea? Or are there other methods?

I use 3M 850 tape for all my bellows. It's very strong, blocks light, and really flexible, the adhesive stands up to cold and heat without changes. Very thin. The bellows on my Wista 45 has been patched with this stuff for probably five years now and it's still perfect and it's on at least three other bellows.

It's pretty expensive, but worth it.
