Get your darkroom finished first then run your precious film. Though the interesting part is of course left out as to why you are "back to your f100" has digital failed you? Have your 8x10's lost their snap? When I was in college I had a gallon of D76, stop bath and hypo under my sink in my apartment in all times. I loaded my film in my closet at night. Developed it in my metal tank in my kitchen sink. Its no big deal. But there's no excuse for any of that now. [Rabs] Mark William Rabiner
