    Why not go to the hardware store, or Radio Shack and get some "alligator clip" type electrical connectors. They are sometimes referred to as "Roach Clips" by those inclined towards pharmaceutical recreation. No need to make a small hole in the film, just clip it to the unexposed edge and hang it up to dry.

    The Jobo sheet film clips are the best, IMO, but they are expensive ($39.95 for 10). The have a tiny needle-sharp post in them with which you can grasp the very edge of the film (within 1mm of the edge) and leave a hole the size of this peroid(.) Jobo #3524 B&H JOFCS.

    I took some plastic clips, sold as gorilla clips, and screwed in a small brass screw in to the jaw, to hold the film, this method makes them adjustable for the amount of pressure u want on the film. Bill

    Someone on another site, maybe rec.photo.darkroom said that the best are available at Ikea, where they think they are shower screen clips. I haven't seen them myself.

    Hi jeff Why don't you try the patterson film clips.they have two needles which puncture a hole in the edge of the film. They are made for 35mm but i just use one of the needles and hang the film by the corner and they aren't really that expensive. All you have to do is find somewhere that stocks patterson gear.

    Jeff,

    I have used Kodak Dental Clips for decades. Stainless steel, rugged, gentle and small = ideal.

    IMHO, the BEST sheet film clips are Kodak Film Clips, Cat. No. 149 2594. They were real small clips, came in boxes of 10. Kodak described them as: "Designed for attachment to hanger frames in custom-built sheet film processing equipment. Spring-actuated jaws for firm hold on film w/o puncturing it. 3/16 x 1""

    Not easy to find. Expensive, but worth every penny. They have serrated edges which simply don't punch through the film, but never slip.

    I'd keep looking for clips rather than holes.
