Because i live in an apartment, I would like to use our bathroom as a darkroom, but I don't want my son to have access to sensitized paper or washed prints. I was thinking I could dry paper and prints in a plastic, lidded tub with string lines inside for hanging the paper and prints.

I was thinking I could place a desiccanting material in the bottom to speed things along.

I was wondering if I could use kitty litter, and if so which kind - clay or silica - would work better?
 
My money would be on silica. I would just worry about it creating a lot of dust... Maybe put it in an old sock or something.
 
Can't you just hang them up high, out of reach?
 
No. I don't want the dichromate to drip. It stains really bad and is pretty toxic.
