Response to film processing

The old press guys used to use a final dunk of methylated spirit, and I can tell you that it does work, leaving the film printably dry in a few minutes, but it can leave drying streaks on the negatives.
Rumour also has it that when really pushed, they used to set fire to it, to burn off the meths. I only tried this on a piece of scrap film once! The risk to film, fingers and soft furnishings is too high, don't try it.
