I put deep grooves in the bottom of my orbital and still use the mushroom pegs without any problem.

I found that to be the case with the pegs; until it wasn't I didn't like the patchy development the resulted from one negative partly covering another. As I said, with gentle adgitation the mushrooms should be OK. |

Dave, I used a Stanley knife and made deep cross hatch scoring across the whole bottom, I then finished off with a quick rub with some wet & dry to get rid of the sharp edges, works a treat. I also agree with you about using more than 80ml, I in actual fact use 150ml and it's fine.

I was a little concerned about scoring the base and it scratching the negs so I followed Dave's article. The only thing that slightly bothers me now is that the epoxy lumps may lift the neg off too high so I've decided to go for 200ml of chemicals.
Looking forward to using the Orbital though, my old Combi tanks used 1000ml of chemicals so the Orbital gives me other developer options rather than sticking with Rodinal for economy. |
