A tip regarding storage bottles. Using the accordion bottles to collapse to squeeze out air, thus avoiding oxidation of the chemical, seems like a good idea, but it really is not, because: 1. As you agitate chemicals in the tank by inversion, particularly with the terrible design of the Paterson tank system, you are going to flush so much oxygen into solution that this concept is trivial. 2. The plastic used for these bottle is oxygen permeable, so a little more air inside to start with is trivial. 3. This style of bottle costs 2 to 4 times as much as other bottles. 4. The accordion folds inside will accumulate chemical deposits as you return used chemicals to the bottle. (As do all bottles to some extent.) However the folds prevent the bottle from being cleaned, so you end up tossing it out or getting cross-contamination of the contents. So, buy clear, amber bottles with proper chemical sealing tops for about $2 instead of this Cinestill crap for $10 each.

Nice video! Quick tip: Since you're hanging your film on your shower curtain rail, you could reduce dust in the air by running the shower and steaming up the room prior to hanging. It's saved me quite a bit of time with an air blower / photoshop to get hairs and dust off my negatives.

No hate man, but running the shower to steam up the bathroom seems wasteful. It’s better to use a spray bottle on a misty setting to get a thin layer of water on all surfaces. I mean we’re already using hazardous chemicals that taint the water supply 😅 lol Might as well reduce the water and heat usage haha

This maybe dumb question. I noticed when I had the Sous Vide set at 102degrees and had my rinse water in a plastic container the water in the plastic container was of lower temperature. I'm thinking that the temp of the chemicals in the bottles would also be a lower temperature. Maybe because the plastic container wasn't closed? Would it make sense to set the sous vide at a higher temperature to compensate so that everything is at 102degrees?
@sanleesnaps

This is actually something I should have talked about! I set my temperature to 104 on my sous vide now as I’ve found that it kept my chemicals all at 102 degrees. It may vary from sous vides but I’ve found that that helped me maintain temperatures.

Will the extra space in the tank during inversions induce air bubbles or anything into my chemicals due to all the sloshing around of the extra air with my chems? Thanks man! Great video.

Jobi thanks for the comment! The video of me reeling the film was an example of how you reel film in a patterson tank! I actually developed 2 rolls for the video. I would recommend avoiding developing single rolls because it can get messy but you can develop with one roll with the spool with the film placed at the bottom of the tank and using 600ml (treat it like you have 2 rolls). But ymmv sooo id still recommend two rolls at a time! :) hope this helped!

Loved the content! Little tip to help in the flatting process: while hanging the film to dry, take an empty film canister and feed some of the excess/leader strip back into the canister, until the canister is secured via the film. This extra weight helps not only de-curl the film for scanning, but also straightens the film while drying, leading to a quicker and all around more efficient dry. Now we just gotta getcha to ditch the stabilizer for Photo Flo!

Hazards 1. Formaldehyde is moderately toxic by skin contact, and highly toxic by inhalation and ingestion. It is an skin, eye and respiratory irritant, and strong sensitizer, and is a probable human carcinogen. Formaldehyde solutions contain some methanol, which is highly toxic by ingestion. 2. Succinaldehyde is similar in toxicity to formaldehyde, but is not a strong sensitizer or carcinogen. 3. Hydroxylamine sulfate is a suspected teratogen in humans since it is a teratogen (causes birth defects) in animals. It is also a skin and eye irritant. 4. Concentrated acids, such as glacial acetic acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfamic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acids are corrosive by skin contact, inhalation and ingestion. 5. Acid solutions, if they contain sulfites or bisulfites (e.g., neutralizing solutions), can release sulfur dioxide upon standing. If acid is carried over on the negative or transparency from one step to another step containing sulfites or bisulfites, then sulfur dioxide can be formed. 6. Potassium ferricyanide will release hydrogen cyanide gas if heated, if hot acid is added, or if exposed to strong ultraviolet radiation. Precautions 1. Local exhaust ventilation is required for mixing of chemicals and color processing. 2. Use premixed solutions whenever possible. 3. Avoid color processes using formaldehyde, if possible. 4. Wear gloves, goggles and protective apron when mixing and handling color processing chemicals. When diluting solutions containing concentrated acids, always add the acid to the water. An eyewash should be available. 5. A water rinse step is recommended between acid bleach steps and fixing steps to reduce the production of sulfur dioxide gas. 6. Do not add acid to solutions containing potassium ferricyanide or thiocyanate salts. 7. Control the temperature carefully according to manufacturer's recommendations to reduce emissions of toxic gases and vapors. Its better to stay safe than be sorry in the future. It builds up

I’ve seen quite a few videos where people put the dev, stop, fix n water into the Patterson tank without covering and turning off all light sources. Wouldn’t this create a light leak from the tank and affect the film? And if not, I can put my chemicals with the lights on once the tank is sealed after putting the film in?

Whichever chemistry you use, the maker will outline the number of rolls the chemistry will process before exhaustion. Understand, these estimates assume immediate processing, not doing 2 rolls now and another 15 in 4 weeks when the chemistry has practically aged out anyway. Also, the number of rolls stated for reused chemistry assumes that you will tolerate an very noticeable degree of off color results, i.e., color shifts. Frankly, you'll see color shifts after the 2nd reuse. You'll see some YT video claiming more than 15 rolls done with reused chemistry. That's either puffing or someone with no standards re results. Once mixed, these kits have a usefull life of about 6 weeks, less once you start using it. As to your queston, no, you cannot squeeze out more rolls processed by doubling up film reels in a larger tank. This is chemistry. Each roll exhausts a certain amount of active ingredients in the chemistry - when it's gone, it's gone.

@@randallstewart175 I wish I saw your comment earlier. I learned the hard way. I had some chemicals that were 5 months old and when I developed my film recently I got completely blank film. The developer was like coffee color. From some searching it seems like my developer was totally exhausted. Tea color is bad and coffee is completely bad. I heard you can test the developer by taking a piece of film and putting it in the developer for a 3-4 minutes and if it's not dark then it means the developer is wasted. I plan to take less risk now and be move conservative with how many rolls I process. I think with my first cs41 kit I got around 20 rolls but I was doing a lot of shooting. Do you add development time after each roll developed? I've kept it at 3m 30sec and did notice some color shifts after reuse. Is there any other c41 kits you recommend?

@@kimchimonkey When I used color developing kits, my preference was Unicolor, also sold by some of the larger stores as their house branded chemistry. I used it because it was proven and being a powder-based product, you didn't pay to ship water across the country. I have not used it for years, and have no opinion on which kit gives a better result over others. My personal experience would be, I'm afraid, of no use for you. I've compounded by own color chemistry for more than 35 years. I make it as needed, or I store it frozen for later use. I use full C-41 and E-6 processes, not the shortened versions in the kits. Because I process in a drum, I use only a small amount of chemistry for each processing, This pretty much exhausts the developers, which I calculate I could reuse once, but I normally use only fresh. I reuse the other components a second time, then discard. My costs are so low, I've never bothered to experiment to determine how many reuses might be had. I like the consistency resulting from one-shot use.
