Thawing film.

[Mike Kennedy]

Dang! I've asked the question before but can't locate the answer in the forum pages.
Short & sweet.Bulk roll of Tri-X from the freezer.How long should I wait before placing it in my bulk loader?

Thanks

I tend to leave films out overnight before use, when I've taken them from the freezer....thinking about it, it's much the same as defrosting a small item of frozen food.

I've always used 3 hours as a benchmark for thwing film. 24 hours would be safe as well!

Remember that film doesn't "freeze" like most foods do; very little moisture content in film.

I'll split the difference!
Took the film out at 5:00 am-load my Weston this afternoon.

Thank You
