Pro tip: I used to think you had to replace a stuck shutter curtain right away.

Had a Canon AE-1 come in last week with a slow second curtain. Instead of ordering a new one, I tried a tiny drop of lighter fluid on the pivot points. Let it sit for a day. The curtain now moves fine. I was sure it was a goner. Anyone know a better long term fix for this?
