Hi all,

So, I woke up this morning with an idea for a faster, easier, bigger darkroom for myself, and I'm worried I'm missing something really obvious.

The problem: my house leaks light like a seive, and I want to cut down x ray film to different sizes, so changing tents are a bit small for that sort of thing.

Proposed solution: in my (dusty, moldy) basement, I could set up an ad hoc darkroom space with boxes, broomsticks and folding chairs, wrap it in 3 mil black plastic sheeting from the hardware store, and inflate it with a box fan to make a room-sized dark tent. I could mitigate the dust problem by putting a furnace filter in line with the box fan. Air would slowly leak out of the crevices of the dark tent, providing some minimal level of ventilation.

What am I missing? (Aside from common sense!)
