Chris do you force air through to dry the prints? Is it open in the back?

No, I've got a panel on back for structural support. I typically allow prints to simply air dry overnight.Originally Posted by scheinfluger_77

Just saw this, but you might just get one of PVC, as it won't rust, because even if you found one made of 318 stainless, they still can rust, so you won't have to worry about dumping Chem down it...
A good precaution is to add a second drain to the sink, so if you were running a archival washer in it or had a constant flow in it, if some test strip etc clogged one of the drains, there would still the other... Even if the second drain was higher in the sink, it would still drain excess liquids... (Like the overflow on your bathroom sink or tub...) Can help prevent disaster!!!

You want a fast drain in it so if a washer burst (I've seen it happen), the sink can catch and drain most of it... Try to use at least 3" drain lines with over 1" per foot drop to a larger drain for a fast drain...
If you use a washer, it's a good idea to have higher walls as a catch basin around in case of spill or breakage...

Looks good
New vent hood is in... slowly but surely.
Looks super. Can I ask where you ordered it?
Sure... http://www.sebastiandarkroomprod.com/
Nice hood!New vent hood is in... slowly but surely.
That sink was set up as a recirculation wet bath. A standpipe in the drain for water level.
The left faucet controlled water to fill the sink with that hole front left.
Perhaps for temperature stabilizing color film development.
I blocked it off.
As you know by now, the sides and bottom are insulated.
