Odd marks on negative -- help needed

["Stan Patz" <skp113@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In need the list's advice about some odd marks on my
negatives. Occasionally with past rolls of Kodak IR
Aerographic (70mm), and on almost every frame of the
latest roll I bought, I am getting stains or marks on
the negative. These appear as lighter wavy lines
wandering across the print or contact sheet, about 1mm
wide. You can see a sample contact sheet at this URL:

Dear Steve,

The squiggly lines look like drying marks to me. I use Photo-flo in 
distilled water to avoid those problems in my darkroom.

There is an outside possibility of buffing the marks out if they are on the 
base side of the film (using film cleaner?). Rewetting the film in the above 
solution and massaging the area may also work. In both cases you risk 
damaging the neg. Photoshop retouching will definitely work.
