Because my psoriasis seems to be here to stay on my hands, I am not willing to tray process my 4x5 film and am wondering if acceptable tanks for film holders can be made from wood? I don't have the budget right now to find rubber tanks, though I do have plenty of hangers on hand and I've had good experiences with wood DR sinks in the past.
I am confident that I can construct tanks that can hold liquids well enough but I'd like to hear from others with experience or insights into the materials needed to do a good job on these. For example, will an ordinary exterior paint serve as a barrier between developer and wood or should I look for another material to protect the tanks?
