Just wanted to share with you guys, I came up with very good film clips using stuff that is pretty cheap and easy to find (disclaimer: darkroom supplies are hard to find in Brazil and we have to import mostly everything):
The clips themselves I bought at a stationery store. I don’t remember how much I paid (cheap, for sure). They come in boxes with 20 pieces and have a very good grip.
The weights are fishing sinkers, bought at a fishing supplies store. I like them because they are really small and still heavy enough (but not too much), and they also have a hole through them that makes it easy to hang to the clips. As anyone into fishing here knows, they are available at a great assortment of sizes, shapes and weights. I am pretty sure they can be found easily and cheaply in lots of places, especially in the USA, where it seems you can buy anything at the dollar store.
Hook the little weight to the clip using steel wire or fishing line and you have a weighted clip!
Been using them for the last 10 rolls or so and they won’t rust like the ones I had before (bought at B&H). They work great!
