developng in HC 110 in 110 degree F

Soak it in hot water before or after developing, but before fixing. I bet that will give you the effect without screwing up the development so much.

so if im soaking in hot water before i develop should i do everything normally?? after

[dsphotog]

ok so im doing a project for experimental photo and what i want to do is develpop in this hot of a developer to get a "dripping" or "melting" effect on my film...ive seen it doen before and it looks really cool soo im liking the dilution h answer ....but again how long

ok, now we see your motivation-
Its an experiment, try it out on non-critical film.
Sounds like a photoshop "effect", but I would like to see your result.

I have done alternating hot/cold film processing, to achieve a high grain/reticulation of the emulsion.

Some print drying cabinets specialize in creating this "effect."

You may want to develop the film at 68 degrees develop for you normal time and heat the Fixer to a higher temperature, I don't have a suggestion for what temperature that should be.

The effect you are looking for is reticulation. Which I define as a running of the emulsion due to higher temperature which then reattaches to the base when it cools.

The above posts are correct about the hi temperature causing to short a time for the film to get both the shadows and highlights developed. Reticulation can also cause grainy negatives. Keep in mind the negative is permanently altered so shoot back up negatives.

Post what you come up with too!

I think I now agree with the post about soaking it in Hot Water after developing. This allows for the grain you want and still get the "runny" effect!
