You can always stand two bottles of Lagavulin and a large vegemite jar on the stack as well. Regarding that dip and dunk, how do you end up with a kink in the middle???? Are they folding the film or something!!

There's the usual curve in transparency film to sort out, but also the kink in the middle of the roll caused by the hanger for the dip and dunk processing they use. Does any one have a good way to get rid of the kink? Frankly Ted, your book isn't quite heavy enough to flatten these mid roll kinks quickly. Could you make your next one at least twice as thick please? I'd thought about ironing the kink out. Anyone tried this?
