Response to Squeegee marks

from Steve Nicholls (GL1500@CHARIOT.NET.AU)
FW, Save yourself all the time in the darkroom by throwing your negs on the floor and walking on then and then hanging them up. As you can probably see a squeegee is not high on my list of useful darkroom tools. All you need to do is a final rinse in distilled water with Photo flo at the correct dilution. DON'T make any bubbles foam or froth. Then hang the film as wet as possible in a dustfree area. I used a squeegee and frothy wetting agent for years and had scratch problems for years, now, no scratches and very clean negs.
