I have developed my own film since 1960. Over the decades I tried, squeegee, chamois, fingers, et al; all of which at one time or another left a scratch (or other "things") on the film. I have a dust free, stainless steel film drying cabinet; as well as filters on hot and cold water; and a temperature regulator; with a 5" dial thermometer on it. A distilled water, photoflo rinse solved all water mark and/or scratch problems. And with distilled water on hand for mixing chemicals was never a problem to get hold of. Obviously many variables of water quality, filter changes, and other conditions come into play in this matter.
