Even used Ilford's water conserving methods. But I tried a new way of washing film this week that I've never done before. Cotton/sturdy, spin, and fabric softener. For good measure, dried on medium heat to normal dry. :) I tossed the roll. Decided it wasn't worth seeing if anything was salvageable. That's the first time I've left a roll of exposed film in my jeans and not taken it out before I stuck 'em in the washer. Chalk it up to being tired and realizing I needed clean clothes sooner than later. Since I develop 4 rolls at a time, I don't want to take the chance that roll is contaminated with fabric softener and will screw up the other 3 that haven't been treated like that. -- Eric http://canid.com/
