streaking

I have been to this thread ten times and there are STILL no pictures of naked people running through a crowd.

I should have figured out by now what it is really about. Talk about memory loss rofl...

Developed 4 rolls today, this time used just few drop of photoflo got no streaking, still have not scanned negatives with the stripping hopefully they will not show

You might want to wash the streaked ones again, with some gentle agitation and maybe a just a drop of dish detergent. then rinse them really well. It might clear the streaks since it is on not in the negative.

Since the streaks are supposedly of residual photo-flo origins, I'd leave out the dish soap and use plain water. Better yet, distilled water. The streaks (presumably dried photo-flo) will dissolve and run off of the film. At least, in theory.

If you've cut the film already, it'll probably be a little more complicated, since you can't just wind it back up on the spool, but the concept is the same. When you clip it up, make sure you don't clip on to an image. Clipping by the corner in the sprocket-hole area is ideal.. it lets the water accumulate at the opposite corner and drip off.
