    A procedure is described for desingularizing soap-film-like surfaces with boundary, leaving a piecewise smooth manifold behind, by deleting certain prescribed extra faces. The criterion for deletion is the vanishing of a certain linking number, and the correctness of the procedure depends on the classification of the singular set into triple lines and tetrahedral points.
