Thanks for the feedback!
1) yeah that was a school boy error on my part, but you live and you learn.
2) I will try the hot water technique. I’m also going to invest in a more powerful hairdryer, the one I’m using at the moment is the schools and it’s a bit beat up.
3) I did buy a 500w halogen flood light but I’ve been using the sun to develop. The latest image was developed for 3 hours at 13 EV but there were passing clouds so I can’t be sure of the actual amount of light it received.
I’m using one layer of amberlith film, so I’ll triple up on that and hopefully it’ll channel out the blue. Although I must say I do quite like them haha.
Thank you! Will post the next result when it’s done.
