Film Developing   Warning ! Keep chemicals out of childrens reach. If you have never done any B& W developing then why not have a go. It is not difficult to gain acceptable results when following the instructions correctly. Here are some of the required items you need to develop your own films:- Developing Tank Measuring Cylinders Thermometer Film Clips Film Squege There are many other items which are helpful to have but you could get by with the items listed above. You then need some chemicals ie.developer, stop bath and fixer which all need to be mixed as per the instructions on the containers, listed below are the steps required to develop your film. You need to load your film onto the developing tank spool in the dark. This is the only part of the process that you need to carry out in the dark. You need to have all your chemicals mixed and at the correct temperature (ie.20 deg C). You then pour in the Developer for the required time, allow for the time to pour in and out of the tank, remember to agitate the tank as per the instructions. Pour in the Stop bath for the required time, this stops further development of the image. Wash the film in water at 20 deg C for 2 min. Pour in the Fixer for the required time. The fixer 'stops' the film from being sensitive to the light and fixes the image to the film. Wash thoroughly for the recommended time, usually 10 min. When washing you can remove the tank lid to see the results on the film. Remove the film from the tank and hang to dry in a dust free room (if possible!). Do Not use a hair drier to dry the film as this fires dust into the emulsion of the film and will destroy your negs.
