After a lot of trial and error I am now able to consistently develop 8x10 sheets of Fomapan with my Jobo CPP2 and Expert Drum. I have to admit it took me longer than I expected, my negatives suffered from uneven development, mysterious pinholes, scratching etc. But leveling the processor, making sure that the lid of the drum is on perfectly straight, using plain water instead of stopbath and adding a 5m pre-wash seems to have done the trick. (Recording this here so people that might run into the same problems that I have might benefit from it.)

No my actual question; the only thing I haven’t figured out is what the best way is to remove the wet developed film from the drums without causing scratches. As stated before I’m using Fomapan that seems to be extremely delicate when wet, much more so than films from Ilford and Kodak. I have tried bare hands, gloves, pincers, but none of them guarantee scratch free removal. Any suggestions?
