I would suggest that in the beginning that you only do the shiny side until you feel confident about doing the back. It only needs a very light touch.

It makes a lot of sense but I can't figure out how I can easily arrange to hang three or four rolls that way in practice. I will have to think harder (not one of my more popular (or successful) pastimes).

The idea in the original post is to hang the film rolls horizontally, not vertically. I have a line for hanging vertically, that's no problem. Would need multiple lines for multipe horizontally hanging rolls. Need to figure out how to do that in the available space.
Actually, now I think about it, I have a shelf over my 6' long darkroom sink - I could string some lines under that. It's only 200mm wide but it could fit three lines - maybe four... Hmmmm.... Will have to experiment... Last edited by Bob; 22nd October 2019 at 01:26 PM. |

In theory the horizontal way might be a worthwhile precaution if there are water marks but a better return might be to examine the drying process and see if there are any hidden problems there.
All I can say is that all my films hang vertically and my area of the country is classified as a hard water area. I have to regularly descale my kettle. In nearly 15 years of processing I must have done quite a number of films and have yet to experience a problem. In soft water areas which seems to be the whole of Wales where you live, Cannik, I'd have thought that the likelihood of water marks is considerably less Mike |

A middle way for hanging films is used by Frances Shultz, wife of the late Roger Hicks. She hangs her negatives on the slant so that the water runs to the edge and then down the side. It is a lot easier to do this than trying to hang them horizotally. You just need some way to tye a line from the bottom clip to to pull the negative off the vertical, perhaps even accross a door way.
