Process B&W photos

Materials Needed:

• A metal or plastic film tank
• Three dark plastic containers to hold chemistry
• Graduates 
• A darkroom timer
• A can opener
• A room that is totally light proof
  
  
  Chemicals Needed: 
• Developer
• Fixer (hypo)
• Hypo Eliminator  
  
  Summary: Start out in a dark room with the film. Makes sure to have the chemicals needed already measured out. The developer (1:3 chemical to water ratio), the stop bath (1:63 chemical water ratio), the fixer ( 1:4 water to chemical ratio) & the hypo eliminator (4.4 Oz). The chemicals are 20 degrees Celsius & the water mixed with them is 68. Open the film canister and cutoff the tabs of the film to make it a straight piece of film. Put the film into a reel, threading it in between the top and bottom.When it reaches the end, pull the end off and remove the tape. Put it into the developing tank.
  
  Mix the chemicals. Keep the chemicals in collapsible storage containers. Pour 8 oz developer into the top of the tank when using an 8-oz. developing tank.Tap the tank against the counter to dislodge bubbles.Agitate the tank by slowly inverting it and turning it back over for the first 15 seconds.
  

  Repeat every 30 seconds for the recommended time (5- 8 minutes). Pour the developer back into the storage container.Pour stop bath into the now-empty developing tank. Agitate the stop bath and let stand for 1 minute. Pour out the stop bath and replace with fixer. Agitate the fixer for 15 seconds and then for 15 seconds once every minute for the allotted time. Pour the fixer back into its bottle.
• Remove the lid of the tank and run water into the tank for 15 minutes. Add wetting agent to water to start the drying process. Remove the film, attach a clip to the end of the film, pull the film off the reel and attach another clip at the opposite end. Hang in a dust free environment
