When I dry my negs, I use my index finger and middle finger (a little damp
with photoflo) to squegee the negs. This prevents water marks. (Its
important to lightly wet your fingers to prevent scratching...)

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?
