They worked fine, just a bit of a pain to separate individual ones off of one sheet .

These seals are very difficult to install. This is not due to the quality of these light seals. It SHOULD be difficult. Think of watch repair. If you are a very handy person who has fun tinkering and a steady hand, you get it. I used all 3 sets for my other camera, Nikkormat FTn, before I became good at it. I first tried isopropyl alcohol (99%) but is started separating the adhesive from the foam. Next I tried water and it was not slippery enough to allow me to make sure I had the adhesive on the very bottom of the narrow channel. The perfect combo was using Purell hand sanitizer. It allows for some slip to move it around. I also made sure I had some Purell on my hands and in the channel the seals fit into. Now I only have to wait a day or 2 for the Purell to evaporate allowing the adhesive to grab on to the camera channel. I think the reason there are so few reviews is that people get frustrated installing these and leaving a bad review so the seller has to keep starting over. Trust me when I say this: There is no way for this to be an easy install. At least the quality of the seals are great! My Nikon FM2 is all set. Reach out to me if you have any questions. I'd love to help a fellow camera enthusiast out! Update: 2 days have passed and the adhesive is bonded well to the bottom of the channels. Purell is a mixture of ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, water, glycol and glycerin to slow the evaporation and provide lubrication for hands. The alcohols and water will completely evaporate given time. The glycerin and glycol are a very small % of the mixture and will combine with the adhesive quite well. If you have the kit, you can take a sample of the foam that is not cut for the seals and test it with Purell on another surface.

Un pedacito de espuma. Mal cortado. Pulir o alinear el corte de espuma generará un desperdicio grande. Solo sirven las pinzas.una decepción.

Helps to seal light leaks for my fm. Maybe a bit overpriced for what it is but it cuts down on the time taken to measure each piece. Takes practice to get the sticky side where you want it.

Just use cotton or wool for top & bottom areas, and some sticky foam on the side. Much faster and more reliable. Doesn't worth the money.

Next time I will buy a foam sheet or use the yarn method for light seals. These are too sticky, and too flimsy. It took all 3 sets for me to successfully install one, they kept ripping while trying to take them off the sheets, some weren't cut all the way through, and the adhesive is quite overkill and made it much more difficult to get the foam in the channels
