film processing chemicals

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,
 
I need your help again, please.
 
Here in the southern California desert cold water coming from the tap is sometimes 85 degrees.   This is hot for processing black and white film and the times/temperatures on the back of the chemical bottles only go up to the temperature of  75 degrees.   Is there a formula for figuring adjustments for processing film in warmer water?   I can cool water down by adding cold water from a water cooler, but I need such large amounts of water to process film, that this becomes difficult. 
 
Using bottled water causes temperature problems, too.  Even at room temperature the water is very warm. 
 
And nooo - I can't switch to digital.  I have students who want to learn film and darkroom work (thank heaven for these students{:->)
