In the process of going through some boxes of pictures for a family photo album I came across a kit of light seal material which I think I bought about ten years ago from Jon Goodman. There was enough material to take care of several cameras, so I decided to put it to use, starting with my ten-dollar-yard-sale Nikon EM which I haven't done much with, partly because of a small light leak.
I scraped out the old deteriorated seal material from the Nikon using a small screwdriver. A little dab of glue on each end of the narrow strips held them in place well. I also replaced the seals near the back hinge with some adhesive-backed foam panels from the same kit. The whole job took about half an hour.
As soon as the new seals were firmly in place I loaded up some Kodak ColorPlus 200 and took the Nikon for a walk around the neighborhood.
The next morning we took the dog and the camera for a walk beside the river and I finished up the roll.
No unwanted photons were detected.
