Response to Water and Grain

Extended time in liquids can cause the emulsion to swell and cause an increase in grain clumping. The warmer the water, the more likely this is too happen. Newer films such as T-Grain are less susceptible to this than older emulsions. However, I wouldn't worry about this if you keep all your liquid temperatures at or below 72F, and total wet time of 45 minutes or less. Sudden changes in temperature are not good for grain either.
