Washing yesterday’s 4x5 plates in the darkroom trailer at Tunnel Mountain Campground in Banff Alberta. It is working g quite well. I plan to do 3 water changes, using the agitation pump each wash cycle for 30 minutes s plus. I am using Sodium Thiosulfate hypo type fixer.
If everything works as planned. If I can complete 100% of the plate in the field (essential for 3-4 month photo trips of Canada). If I can eventually work myself up to 35x35 plates LOTS OF IF’s THERE!! Then a second agitation pump set-up might help speed things up..
