Yesterday I discovered the like-new Polaroid clearing bucket I purchased less than a year before Type 55 vanished :(. In addition to a 24oz packet of sodium sulfite I can certainly use, it contained a nifty adjustable film-holder gadget for up to 12 sheets. Has anyone ever found a use for this holder other than for clearing Type 55 negatives? It seems too nice to dump/recycle.

I think my wife can use the bucket for her gardening. That gets it out of my storage space and into hers :)

I used mine for negative washing. Push a hose (plastic tube) into the center and it forces the water in at the bottom and over the edge at the top.

When there are absolutely no other alternatives - an emergency urinal. :cool:

Or you could sell the bucket to me since I still have 10 boxes of Type 55 in my fridge....
