Identifying cause of streaks on BW negatives

[Willie]

Yes you can certainly do that. However if you do one sheet at a time my advice would be to use the same agitation method (ie manually shuffling the single sheet). Don't do tray rocking.

Or you can do what some of us have learned. Brush Development. Simple and easy and makes for very even development in clear sky areas. No shuffling or lifting or turning the negative.
