Sorry for 'hijacking' the thread, mind sharing how this setup looks like?

I shoot 14x17 negatives and I develop using Pyrocat HD, really like the clean results.

They offered a refund for the problematic pack. The other packs I got from them were actually okay. It's one pack, that I guess didn't pass QC.

They have reached out to me via Photrio. I will see what they have to offer to resolve.

Thanks. This sounds reasonable. My theory is that the negatives I had were notched incorrectly (as not all had notches) in turn causing me to have the wrong side up.

Will try and test your...

Same day. I process via drum, one sheet at a time.

Thank you! That is flattering though I am not doing it for business. Bellieve it or not this was just my first time restoring.

Reviving this thread.

I picked up several referrals to mcmaster—so the feeler gauges work well and would last as spring backs?

Or are there other options at McMaster that would work as well or...

Thanks! Will give this a think.
