Response to Washing - photo flo

from james (james_mickelson@hotmail.com)
What you describe sounds like dust adherring to the film when the emulsion is still wet and soft. Try hanging it in a bathroom after you have run the hot water in the shower. Better yet, run the shower and then hang the film in the shower. There is an increadible amount of dust in our homes especially with any kind of rugs or carpets. The emulsion is very soft on wet film and it acts like a magnet. Photo-flo won't help with this problem. And too much photo-flo is as bad as not any. When your film dries it looks like water spots but it is dried photo-flo which is nothing more than soap. James
