ECN-2 (motion picture) film in B&W chemistry

[Emulsion]

Hi,

I am interested in developing some ECN-2 (motion picture) film in B&W chemistry. An example (not mine) is shown at the site below.

Can anyone make any recommendations or offer advice to get me started? I'm most interested in recommended processing times/chemicals also any common problems and how to overcome them.

I'm thinking of:
1) Removing remjet using either borax or sodium sulphite solution
2) D-76 developer at 100F for 15mins as a starting point.
3) Then a standard B&W stop bath, fixer and wash at the same temperatures.

Does this sound suitable?

Thanks from,
Emulsion

I have used borax as a pre-soak and tried to rinse as much of the remjet off as possible, I still had to clean a lot off during the final wash. D-76 1:1 for 20 minutes at 75F for both ECN-2 and C41 has worked well for me.
