Response to Hardening of Kodak Negs?

As with any film, the less you handle it the less chance of scratching the emulsion. I always develop my film on stainless steel reels and then dry it...right on the reel. I use a hair dryer rigged to an empty powdered ice tea canister and blow air through set on low volume with no heat....works great. If you use Photo-Flo, try slightly less than the recommended mix. I know it has a tendency to soften the emulsion but it normally leaves the film spotless and virtually eliminates the need to wipe it down.
