Stand Development and Lab-Box

[agentlossing]

Simple question: has anyone used the Ars Imago Lab-Box to stand, or semi stand, develop? Or for that matter, any similar tank which stands the spool vertically? I'm wondering if the way the film lays, horizontally on the top and bottom parts of the spool, will cause uneven development. Also wondering if the total volume of the Lab-Box is a little small for enough developer for this style of development.

I think it's asking for trouble, yes. I wouldn't recommend this. For experimenting with (semi-)stand, use an upright tank.

Also wondering if the total volume of the Lab-Box is a little small for enough developer for this style of development.

Evidently, the tank needs to be filled to the point that the entire reel is submerged. Again, an upright tank works best for this.
