| Handling Precautions: | Do not move items until a place has been prepared to receive them and you have been instructed to do so. Do not remove from boxes; hold cartons together with rubber bands. Fill trays with water, and pack in a cardboard box lined with garbage bags or some other plastic container filled with water - the film must be kept wet until it can be reprocessed. |
