I'm determined to have a go at B&W developing next month once payday has come around but have a few questions mostly to do with temperature control. I know B&W isn't supposed to be as sensitive but I still want to try and get it right.
I'm assuming you make a bath of water at the right temp and then put your tubs of chemicals in it until they warm up to the right temperature?
When you've sorted your chems and you pour them into the drum do you need to worry about the teperature of the drum or can you leave it at that until the time is up?
Some of you may remember I rashly bought on of those drum motor things a while back. Using this will mean I have no temperature control during the processing phase. Is this a problem or should I bin it?
If I can use the drum motor do I still need the same amount of chems or can it be reduced? If so how much to?
Again if I use the drum motor does the rotating of the drum reduce the processing time or does it stay the same?
Apologies for the dumb questions but I hating trying things and messing it up because I don't know what I'm doing so the more info I have before hand the better.
Cheers,
Kev
