Flic Film Bath | New

[Filmic1]

Hello Forum

I just bought this Flic Film temperature bath for apt. DR use.

Have yet to use.

If anyone can offer insight setting up. Appreciated.

It's around $80 on AliExpress.
These are generic thermostatic water baths; there's dozens of variants of them. They probably for the most part use the same control module. It's a simple device; not much that can go wrong with it. Could be convenient for color development.

Thanks, Koraks.

I don't have the money n'or space to buy a JOBO. There is a stand up model wand type that you just stand up in a bath and looked kinda unstable.

The wand-style sous-vide cookers are widely used; they work well. They generally have some kind of clip or attachment that suspends them from the wall of an ordinary tub or deep tray. Either that or the tempered water bath you have there will work fine for manual (color) film development.

Thanks for the skinny. (@elsvanopstal on YT uses one.)

I just do 35mm black and white. A very kind acquaintance gifted me a complete Besler Dichro 6x7S lab and all the fixins, including a temp control centre you weld into your household water supply, but alas, I'm retired and live in a 3 1/2 apt.

I have a Mamiya RZ67 and a TLR. I should be asking around for 6x6 and 6x7 negative carriers and a 75 or 90mm lens.

You're doing well! I'm in 680 sq ft with no darkroom space. It's possible to do E-6 and C-41 development with a stoppered sink and just a standard thermometer, but your device should make temperature control a little more refined.

Yeah, my. hot water heater is in a longish/narrow closet. Enough room to foot the enlarger and shelf for 3, 8x10 trays. I have to be very careful not to knock the trays off as they are right at my shoulder when sitting at the enlarger.

Hehe! I had a Beseler 23C in a 3x3 foot closet in my old 1 bedroom apartment. I only did 5x7s. No ventilation, wore a mask.

They range in price from $105 CAD to $300 on Ali Express, depending on unit. $175 at The Great Canadian Warehouse...which looks like the smaller one on Ali Express.
