How many film strips can i clean with 1 bottle? also, is 1 bottle enough for 100 sheets of pec pads?

I've done literally 1000's of feet of 8mm film and barely put a dent in the bottle BUT... you need to understand that PEC is a potent solvent and evaporates very quickly. I can clean a 500' reel of film with one PEC Pad and just a few drops of PEC while spooling the film across and hand cranked movie editor. Takes maybe a minute. Cleaning individual film strips (I'm assuming 5"-6" stripes of negatives) is going to be a very time consuming operation and the PEC fluid is going to evaporate quickly. That said, depending on how dirty the film is and how well you manage the pads, I suspect you'll run out of pads long before you run out of PEC. MOST IMPORTANT NOTE: As noted above, PEC is a very potent solvent. You must use it sparingly and in a well ventilated location. Just a few whiffs of the stuff will make you lightheaded.

Can you clean old postcards with this?

I highly doubt it. I would assume it would dissolve the ink. It is meant for cleaning film and slides which are dye based.

Does this work to clean older (as in 20-40 years) slides and negatives?

Works well for me. I use it to clean negatives, E-6 slides and Kodachrome slides prior to scanning. Most of this film was shot in the mid 80's to mid90's. I should add that my negatives and slides have always been well protected and the cleaning needed is minimal.

Safe on camera sensors?

It seems so, sorry that doesn't answer your question. They are too stiff for use with PEC-12 to clean slides--seems like they dig unevenly into emulsion coating. I've had better luck on slides with softer cloths used to clean glasses with fragile coatings (available at opticians).
