Response to How do YOU keep dust off drying negatives?

We use a plastic coat closet container; cost about $15 to 25 depending upon store. Works fine, ran some wire from one side to the other, use wooden clothes pins to hang film. 40 to 50 students each quarter use the same structure with no problems. You might be able to find a small size depending upon the number of rolls you develop at a time. I have an old type film drying bag,plastic with a filter at one end in case one wanted to use a hair dryer. Can hold about 8 rolls of film. Hung it in the bathroom on the shower rod. I don't know if these are still available, but you might try Porter's as they still carry a lot of "old time" stuff. One other thought, do you shut the door and leave the room alone for 8 hours, or is this the only bathroom which folks are moving in and out of; which will create a lot of dust. If you can shut it off, run the shower before hanging negatives to see if that will help cut down dust that is just part of our lives.
