I found long ago that the edge of a dry-mount tacking iron and a piece
of wood could be used to melt a new seam between each existing seam in
35mm negative pages, thus making perfect Minox pages. I think high heat
was used but some experimentation will be necessary. There seemed to be
an exact temperature which fused the plastic without melting it too
much.
I would certainly NOT store negatives rolled! Is that what you are
talking about? I have just finished un-curling negatives from the '30s
which were stored in cans. UGH! It takes about a year rolled backwards
before you can get them into a sleeve.
