dust

John, I too get dust but there are prepared chemicals which will aid you in drying your films more quickly. Haven't used them in many years but they used to work wonders. Then, too, there is the method I read of in the mid-1980's. Buy some balloons, (such as the type used at children's parties), blow them up and rub them with a rayon, nylon or wool cloth and they will attract most of the dust from the air. I used to do this in my darkroom when printing, so think it will work when you develope also. Of course, you should do this an hour or more before beginning to develope. Hope this helps.
