Hi

Has anyone had experience loading Wash Y 120 onto a patterson reel - it a Kozo based paper film and I have had no luck loading it. I find the directions from Washi very confusing. Probably a bad translation from the original French

Any help would be appreciated -

I’ve used two rolls of it, so far. Haven’t attempted to put it on a reel. I see-saw it in a tray of developer, which I think is the recommended method.
For tank development, I’d try one of the old Kodak “apron” tanks, assuming you can still find one. These use a strip of plastic that you wind up instead of a reel.
