Dang!!!
What Young kids & Old 'arts have in common.
One doesn't know and the other doesn't remember!
Never done this before, didn't rinse in distilled water.
Couldn't understand why the 4x5's where so 'contaminated.' (Hard water)
Then I did remembered .. nuts!!
The negs are dry,, can I pre-soak and do photo flo again, this time with distilled water?
Will it work... or just forgetaboutit and make a note on the photo flo ... something to the effect of:_____!

All you can do is try it.

Maybe you can have one of your 'helpers' reframe your question, if there is one, for the senile rant impaired, but I don't understand why you are (apparently) using both photo flo and a final distilled water rinse – one or the other depending on your own environment (which it may be assumed is The Home?).

Well ROL ur just the man, the 'helper' I need, come on over.. After photo development, (in all manner implied, as I have a lot to learn) you can help me mit de honey due. ;-)
BTW.. cause the water is hard, I use photo flow in distilled water for final rinse.

Thanks Rick .. think I'll just forgetabout it.. took a look at the shots.. been experimenting and learning new film trying to get it down, so no really big deal. Will let it go, but hopefully will have a memory next time.. ;-)

yes, but use the photo-flo at a much reduced ratio than suggested. I use Ilford wetting agent, but 1 drop is enough. Don't keep it for future use either.

yep... one drop for 1560 litters... and down de drain it flows...
