BTW I shot a roll of Kodak 100VS and when scanning it noticed circular shapes at the edge of the frame. Indicates too rapid drying and/or wrong wetting agent dilution in final rinse IME. It can often be provoked by squeegeeing film (which removes the surface liquid from the frame but leaves

Couldn't agree with you more on the 18 year old trainee. As for Photoflo, that was the only stuff we had at the time (after I sold my lab, I swore NO MORE LABWORK) and the secret of that stuff is all in the dilution a drop too much Photoflo and you spots on yer film... no forced air

this is particularly true of b/w, and the solution for b/w is to have the correct dilution of Photoflo and a dust free drying cabinet... IME the thing to do is allow the film to dry naturally in a cabinet, not using forced air, and especially not forced warm air. And PhotoFlo (esp.600) is
