I used to use a film squeegee, taking the precautions already mentioned and never had any problems but once I tried running the two middle fingers down the film I never went back to the squeegee method. No need to have the squeegee handy as the two fingers are more easily found. No need to wet and soften them and no possibility of any hidden grit

Another advocate of the two finger method! I used to use the squeegeeing approach but haven’t looked back since I consigned them to the bin. I dip my chosen fingers in the rinse aid solution first and find this the best method for my needs (120 and occasional 35mm films)

Okay, I know I do things differently, but my solution was simple enough for me. All you guys and gals out there who hang their film up to dry vertically.... This gives the water droplets a chance to run all the way down the film, and cause chaos. I hang my films up horizontally, and so the droplets (if any) have such a short run, eliminating the drying marks.
Well that's my story. I'm confident enough to hang my films vertically, but I've been doing it so long now I wouldn't want to change and jinx it..... |

But I will be trying it with the next film I develop, along with my usual precautions. Terry S |

I told the guy in the photo shop in the town in which I used to live. He was a part-time college lecturer in Photography, and he was amazed at that solution.....
All I had to do was to make sure there was enough tension in the film to keep the film vertical, not bending along its length. I'm sure I was fixing a symptom, not the issue, but it works. |

Paterson film clips I have a downstairs shower room right next to the darkroom, that I turn the hot shower on in for 2 minutes, the steam supposedly gets rid of the dust, when clear hang the film . |
