    Re: film

    AS I recall, Silly Putty had a fairly greasy base since I used to lift cartoons from the newspaper with it all the time and there was always a greasy stain left on the news print.. Residue on fingers could leave fingerprints on the emulsion side if not VERY careful and using it on the notch should only be done on the back side so that nothing touches the emulsion. Otherwise, there could be serious problems with oils blocking the developer wherever the stuff touches including from the fingers.

    I think the paper and pencil idea is much safer.

    I made a note of this from another forum recently, probably photonet- I suppose googling a section might bring up the original post.

    It may be of some help if you can sacrifice a small strip of film. Or maybe not, I don't know.

    PROCESSING TIME OF ANY FILM IN ANY DEVELOPER:
    1. In a darkroom cut off a few strips 6-8 mm wide from the film you want to develop.
    2. Turn the lights on. The strips are fogged now.
    3. Take one strip with your right hand and a stopwatch with your left hand.
    4. Dip one half of the strip in a developer and start a stop watch. The emulsion side of the
    film strip placed in a developer will start lightening first and then darkening.
    5. WHEN THE DARKNESS OF BOTH PARTS OF THE STRIP MATCH STOP THE STOPWATCH!
    6. Divide the number of SECONDS shown by the stopwatch by 3. This is your developing
    time in MINUTES. If stopwatch shows 24 seconds, developing time is 8 minutes.
    7. Repeat two-three times for consistency. This method never failed for the last 60 years.

    Oh, thought you had already known there was film there.

    My GF is not safe, neither are some of my ex's hah! Not because I have I'll intent, but simply because I am an artist, some of it can already be found "out there"
