Silver Photographers Never Die, They're Just Getting Fixed

I've never trusted using wooden clothespins for hanging sheet films - having noticed the occasional wood residue they can leave behind on the films...thinking that this residue might put these films at some risk, archivally speaking, somewhere down the line.
I've used wooden clothes pins for years - never an issue. There are so many products these days trying to solve problems that don't exist while thinning your wallet and thickening theirs.
Since I realized that it's my fingers that get dust on the films, I let the films dry in the film hanger after bathing in Mirasol. No more problems.

Yep! I've had metal and plastic clips drop negatives. Wood has the perfect grip. Never had wood left in a negative but maybe it's hard to find good ones. Wooden matches are garbage now.
I drill the cloths pins with a 3/16 bit just above the spring so they always hang down and string them on 9 gauge steel wire.
+1 on acrylic being a magnificent dust magnet.
