Subject: [Leica] Drying marks

I'm getting back into film development, which I never really learnt
properly to start off with ;-)

In any case, the problem I have is that I'm getting drying marks on my
films, despite precautions.  I use a wetting agent in the last rinse,
with the right dilution, and let it sit in the water for about five
minutes.  Then I carefully remove the reels, hang them up and gently
"squegee" them between my index and long fingers.

Still, I keep on getting little white marks on the film.  What am I
doing wrong?  How can I get rid of the marks on the film I've already
developed?

M.
