An important thing to be aware of. However, storing nitrate film in your shed would still be illegal and inadvisable. There is a decade buffer ensuring Thunderbirds was not filmed on nitrate. tbh I don't think the is any nitrate film stored in a shed which would still be recoverable.



I'll ensure that from now on my shed is only used for old tins of paint, firelighters, matches, leaky jerrycans of diesel, fireworks, and gas cylinders.

My nitrate film can go in the loft instead.


Guncotton (a better name for nitrate film) cannot be extinguished (because it contains sufficient oxygen); can autoignite; and is illegal to store.


So if not the garden shed, then: Where do I store my collection of nitrate films?
