My wash is different, but I am using a JOBO, so it would be..... Frank Filippone red735i at earthlink.net . Develop and fix the film as recommended by the manufacturer. Then wash the film ON THE REEL, in the tank, with tap water for five minutes (no more) The water should be on a continuous flow. I will also completely change the water in the wash bath two or three times in the first minute, just to be rid of any of the fixer/developer. While the film is in the wash, I prepare a final bath with 1:200 PhotoFlo and filtered water. A small tub is fine. After five minutes of the tap rinse take the film out of the rinse, shake off the excess water, and take the film off the reel. Grab the ends of the film, and glide the film back and forth through the filtered water/photo flo tank for 30 seconds. Hold at a 45-degree angle to let any excess water run off (I sometimes add a smart snap). Then hang the film to dry. DO NOT SQUEEGE.
