I leave the film on the reel and use the hair dryer to blow off most of the
moisture. I try to avoid cooking the film but it seems that the blowing hot
air pushes off the water drops and dries the film most of the way. I then
hang the film with the roll still attached at the end for weight to allow
the final drying straight.

Subject: [Leica] @#&$$& Watermarks!!
I'm sick and **** tired of watermarks on my negs. I use a condenser
enlarger and the crap just shows up in every print. AFAIK, I'm using every
trick in the book when I process my film:
1: All solutions are mixed with distilled water
2: Final rinse wash in in distilled water
3: Small amount of PhotoFlo added to final wash
4: Negs hung up to dry, not squegeed
How do I avoid getting the damn things on my negs in the future?
