In the previous issue of this bulletin (Science for Conservartion 51, published in 2011), a report was made on a method for restoring deteriorated (hardened or deformed)Filmon Endless Sound-Belt. The previous method employed the typical characteristic of celluloid, that celluloid is a heat-reversible material. In other words,it starts to soften when temperature exceeds 65℃ and becomes completely soft when temperature exceeds 85℃ and reaches 100℃, but regains its hardness and resilience when cooled. However, there were several problems with this method. For instance, there was a risk that the unwound tape would become damaged in the process of rewinding it and that applying too much heat would damage the sound grooves. This year the previous method was revised to solve these problems and soften the sound-belt so that it can be replayed.
