I have a stock of 4 parts distilled water: 1 part 70% isopropyl alcohol with a few drops of photoflo per litre of solution. After I hang my negs up to dry, I wipe the film with a Pec Pad onto which I have put a little of this alcohol/water mix. Only very rarely now do I get any hard water limescale drying marks.
