As a bit of insurance or without having to replace the light seal, I cut some black tape and place it over the slot after I remove the dark slide. I keep one or two taped to the back of the magazine to use as spares if they lose adhesion. Works like a charm and I've never had light leaks even with very old backs.
@@tekoppentekoppen761 I got some replacement seals for about 8 euros from Italy on either Amazon or eBay. Sorry I don’t have the details still as it was a while ago. I’ll have a dig around to see if I can find the envelope as there two lots of seals.

I have a couple of 220 Hasselblad backs in the shed, I might give it a go at repairing them, thanks for the video.
Give it a go it really is super easy
Nice Job! I just burned 4 sheets of 4x5 by accident. I know your pain!
Very apt as my old seal has just popped out. I tried the link for the seals but it’s not working are these the ones from Italy?
What about those from italy? I just bought a hassy from italy...
