    There's probably not anything in the shop.  Water is *out* of
    course. Also do *not* use acetone (it will dissolve or distort the
    film base, if it is the usual acetate base.  There are several
    organic solvents (such as some of the Freons) that work fine, but I
    think you'd be better off going to a photo store to be sure you get
    the right one. Otherwise, goodbye slides!
