Steps for processing film:

PROCESSING FILM –

1) Get a reel, canister, lid and funnel and head into the darkroom to load your film onto the reel

2) Fill your canister with the developer (brown jug) for the desired amount of time (agitating for the first minute and 10 seconds every additional minute).

3) Pour the developer out INTO THE SINK.

4) Rinse with water from the purified hose for 1 minute (fill 5 times).

5) Fill with Fix (Large white bucket with spout) and agitate for the entire 6-7 minutes while fixing.

6) Pour the Fix BACK INTO THE FIX BUCKET.

7) Rinse canister with water again.

8) Open canister and put film into wash tube for 5 – 10 minutes.

9) Wash out your canister and return to blue bins. Do not leave your canister/reel in the sink!

10) Run film through PhotoFlo and hang to dry with a clip on the top and bottom.

11) Cut into strips and place into a clearfile and place it in your 3 ring binder.



*** remember not to touch your film, only touch the edges, not the negatives!***
