I spent years working with water baths and other stuff to stabilize and control temperature. Then, I got fed up with all of it and decided to experiment ... I only ever processed B&W film at home: - standardized on two developers (HC-110 and XTOL). Then stuck with XTOL. - went to one-shot

At one time I had the cooling unit for an old water fountain setup as a water chiller in my dark room. Worked well with a temp control valve. Chillers were the standard in pro darkrooms in days gone by, but now they usually us high temps and chillers have kind of disappeared from the darkroom c

Shel, Thanks for the info. It's odd, really. When I did some T-Max there were no bubbles. Only on Tri-X. I've learned since that the Yankee 4x5 daylight tank is notorious for being bubble-tolerant. Also, the identical instruction was gotten from the LF guy at Midwest Photo here in Columbus. Appar
