Re: Photo-flo

I have read of options to Photo-Flo, but never tried them because although they
may work, they may also be detrimental to the film on down the line. I'd
rather not take that chance.

When I developed in my bathroom, I steamed it by turning on the shower before
hanging my film. Once the steam had settled things, I hung the film and closed
the door. I had been having problems with dust and this took care of the
situation. I've got a darkroom now and do not have those problems.

Cheers -
