Hi folks,
I'm having an ongoing issue, where the lid (for liquids, not the light-tight) is popping off during rotation. This happens fast and no matter how lightning fast I can jump in, I lose 1/3 to 1/2 of the chemicals into the water bath.
Sometimes this doesn't happen for several sessions then sometimes it happens twice in one session (of multiple rolls).
It usually occurs during the BLIX stage (I'm switching to a separate bleach-fix system after I run through the last of this batch) but has happened in other stages too.
I thought it might be down to over-full tanks, but I've been keeping an eye on that and I don't think that is the cause.
Would love to remove this issue from my workflow if anyone has any experience or advice?
Tank is a 1520 UniTank, but tried other tops / lids (as I have the smaller 35mm variant) with the same result.
Thanks
