I have read ilfords PDF on processing. And another site's method. And watched several different YouTube videos....
one thing has me concerned...
one place says dump the developer down the drain, but save the fixer and the stop wash.
one place says save the developer, fixer, and stop wash.
and yet another says save the fixer and stop wash, but that you have to turn the developer in to a local lab.
several places mention a stop wash. And a few say a stop wash isn't necessary, just plain water.
even another site says to use a few drops of dishsoap in your final rinse water.
ahhhhhhhhh .calgon take me away !
