Re: RE: RE: Pinholes in film base.

[Frank Schiffel <SchifF@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

reticulation would be more likely if you were developing at say 68 degrees and hit the wash at 120 or so. not sure exactly, but its enough of a difference for the gelatin to expand or contract and crack. its enough to be noticeable. with the naked eye.

overheated chemicals once doing color and nearly had the emulsion lift off the film base. was really soft and nearly roling up. only lost the edge markings. ah well.

The time that I got the dense band of small clear spots on the 35 mm HIE the
film was developed in 72 degree solution, fixed in a non-hardening fixer,
and washed in 80 degree water.  The 80 degrees was the lowest I could get
here during the summer.

The idea of reticulation did not occur to me since it was not the whole
negative.  It occurred to a strip along the roll that was about 1/3 the
width of the negative.

My darkroom is air-conditioned to about 70 degrees.  I have modified the
water supply by running it through 150 foot of garden hose.  The hose is
full of water at 70 degrees.  I also use Kodak Rapid Fixer with the hardener
added.
