Photo Forum / Film Photography / Darkroom / February 2004Tetenal C41 Stabilizer
Does anyone knows what the agitation times for the Tetenal C41 chemistry? The directions give the agitation times for the developer and bleach-fix but not for the stabilizer. I am planning to develop a roll of film next week. > Does anyone knows what the agitation times for the Tetenal C41 > chemistry? > The directions give the agitation times for the developer and bleach-fix > but not > for the stabilizer. You drop the film into the stabilizer, leave it in for a minute or so and pull it out again. It's nothing but a glorified wetting agent with a few additives to kill fungus and bacteria. Since this stuff builds up some nasty residue, it is recommended not to pour it into the tank but to use a dedicated recipient and take the film off the reel before putting it into the stabilizer. > I am planning to develop a roll of film next week. An entire roll? All at once? No wonder the planning takes until next week... ;-) Ralf  SignatureRalf R.

Jobo recommends not letting photo-flo touch the reels or tanks. Not a problem just grab a cheap plastic tub big enough to hold the film.

Yes. Long ago I went to the local store and bought a package of disposable plastic bowls made by glad. I found a size that was the perfect size for 120mm film and I put the photo-flo in it and then take the film off of the reel and drop it in the photo-flo.
