With the 4x5 tubes I put the tubes in a large pan of stop bath after development is completed. However, the 8x10 tubes are so much larger than 4x5 that it looks like it would take something huge, almost like a vat, full of gallons of stop b ath to hold a bunch of 8x10 tubes at once. So my question is, how do you handle the stop step with 8x10 tubes? I guess the film could be removed from the tubes and put in a tray of stop bath, but this would reintroduce the risk of scratches and eliminating scratches is the whole idea of using tubes in the first place.
