    I was recently looking for rubber-tipped tweezers and came across this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rubber-Tipped-Tweezers-Articulating-Type-Pvc-Coated-Tips-Cross-Locking-Stand-Up/200988700255?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

    It works extremely well for getting edge photos. Aside from the soft tips, it's free standing and designed to open when squeezed/remain clamped when left alone.

    For me this is a lifesaver since edge photos have always been my bane. Please note I am not promoting or affiliated with the seller, I'm just sharing a tool that many will find useful :)

    I have to wonder though, with the tips being PVC and presumably somewhat soft do they have any harmful additives? Will short exposure such as this even be a problem? Just some thoughts that came to find. Otherwise it's a great idea, I've seen these before without the coated tips.

    Oh cool, was not even aware of a "flashlight reflector" but that looks to be very effective. Ordered one now, thank you :)

    Even if the material contains PVC, a couple minutes of exposure will have no effect.
