Subject: Re: [drakelist] Blue filter gel (C-line)


Thanks to all who have written with suggestions. Mark, I had already looked
at http://www.wb4hfn.com/DrakeArticles/TechTips/DrakeResources.htm . It
looks (from the picture) as if the gel supplied by WA9TGT is significantly
darker than the original shown in the photo, assuming that the "original"
shown has not itself faded with time. It was for this reason that I passed
that source over.

Lee, sad to hear that Roscolene 853 is not in fact an exact match as was
suggested on this list a few months ago. I must admit that I wasn't sure, if
this was the original material used by Drake as suggested in the original
post, why I would need to double up the thickness to make the density
correct!

Gary.... Lee filter 172 does look very interesting. When  you say exact
match, do you mean in every respect, even though the gel is thinner i.e.
although the colour may be correct, do I need to double up the thickness to
get the correct density (light level), or is it correct as is?

To Phil, AI4DQ, thanks also for possible source 882670054 (blue) and
882670050 (white) which are quilter's template material from www.wrights.com
, though I'm not sure how to locate a stockist in the UK? Didn't have much
luck finding a US stockist on the web either (other than wholesalers, who
want to sell packs of 25 !).

Anyway, I'm sure from these that I will find a solution! Thanks again for
suggestions,
