Is 'Slotty Thing' a registered trade mark?

I don't think so - the name came up a while back and it has sort of stuck

You have to take a little more care with FP papers and I usualy drag mine out resting the back against the side of the slot as this drags off a lot of the fluid and try to avoid jerking the papers - slow and steady I go! Making sure you engage the clip in the first place I think helps as well as it is easy misplace them. I can remember the dedicated FB paper processor being expensive and it put me off buying one at the time. Maybe I shall look at it again when the recession is over ;-)

It would be interesting to hear from any one who has one, and has also used the original version, to see what they think.

I have a Quad that I bought from SDS three years ago and use it for both RC and FB. I use two clips for the latter if processing 12X16 - takes a bit of hand co-ordination but works pretty well.

Try Coca Cola (other slotty thing cleaners are available) to clean the slots, I'm assured it works.

Never tried Coca Cola ! I seem to manage OK with one clip per 12x16 FB and I can't evere remember dropping any onto the floor - I am not sure if my brain would cope with two slotty thing clips at the same time!
