Adam,

You might consider building one of these homemade film dryers.

I built one and it's simple to put together, inexpensive, small, easy to 
store, works well and quickly, and I don't need to squeegee my film (=no 
scratches)...the film dries on the reels and comes out flat flat flat 
compared to film I used to drip-dry.

I wouldn't develop without it.
