Re: 8" B&W film development?

[Robert Erickson <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can load the B&W on the Patterson reels. Believe it or not, when I first
started using a converted Patterson tank to process Cirkut film I once
loaded the leader paper on the reel by mistake.

The first time around the reel is the hard part. You must round off the
corners of the film, and you MUST put a "fold" on the end. (Bend the film in
half and pinch the middle) This will make the end of the film just a bit
narrow at the end. These tips go for 35mm as well as Cirkut film.

Subject: 8" B&W film development?


Jamie recently mentioned  Paterson reels converted to take 8" Cirkut film
don't work with Verichrome B&W due to the thin film base. There was another
post on converting stainless reels to 8". Has anyone tried loaded
Verichrome onto one of these? What other method does everyone suggest to
develop 8" (or 9 1/2" or 10") B&W?
