Squeegee film?

[Andrew O'Neill]

That looks like Ilford Delta 100. Ilford say's no need for a hardening fixer, films are pre-hardened at the factory. I use this same procedure. Now you know why I use Kodak (Tetenal ) rapid fix WITH HARDENER!

Hardener? What's that? LOL

Do you have an illustration of how to hang roll film on an angle?

Go to http://www.rogerandfrances.com/subscription/ps how process 35-120.html and near the bottom of the page is a photo and description of how they do it. With 120 film I guess you could jury-rig something with an alligator clip instead of the paper clip.

Ah, I see. Very clever. Thanks!

I've read this before and don't have a clue how to do this with roll film.

The film does not need to be at 45° for the whole duration of drying. Between spiral unloading and hanging, hold at 45° between outstretched arms for a minute or so, time for bubbles and liquid to collect at one edge. Then hang vertically as usual.
Keep the amount of wetting agent to a minimum (below maker's recommendation) to avoid dry "stuff" leaving marks.

Hi all. I am new to developing (or actually back after a long-20 yr.-hiatus).

I am having a problem with water spots on my negatives. I am using photo flo. What I want to know is whether I should squeegee my negatives as well, or do I run a risk of scratching them? I simply can't remember what I did the first time around.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

No, never use a squeegee unless you like to scratch film. Follow the instructions for PhotoFlo, hang to dry. If necessary, put a paper towel on the bottom film corner.

I haven't squeegeed my negatives in years. after I wash I use a few drops of photo-flo in the water move the negatives in the liquid { don't make any foam} and hang to dry. Never any spots.

You might enquire on a site that is more oriented to motion picture film.

I shoot motion picture as stills. Saves me moneys and give me access to fast tungsten balanced film.

I know.
What I'm saying is that the people who shoot 16mm motion picture film as motion picture film (and develop it themselves) tend to shoot a lot more 16mm film than those who use it for still photos, and have a lot of experience with the challenges that film may present.
