Response to PMK with sheet film in hangers

Hangers can cause streaking at the film edges, especially with PMK. Learn to develop sheet film in trays. It's not as scary in reality as people think. Practice with scrap sheets until you can do it without scratching any of them. Tray development provides completely even developing. You don't need a Jobo; you don't need a goofy plastic rig to hold the sheets. You just need practice. Do NOT put your bare hands into pyro! Use latex gloves available from any pharmacy. Also, use a pre-soak, otherwise the tanning action of the pyro will permanently bond the sheets together if you just put them dry into the developer.
