Film Processing

fEquipment List - 
Tank Body
Centre Column 
Light-tight Funnel lid
Agitator Stick 
Plastic cap
Change Bag 
Scissors 
Spiral
Film retriever or bottle opener 

The Process 
Step 1: Place the following equipment into the change bag, make sure everything you need is in the second layer of the changing bag, zip up both zips. 
Step 2:  Use the scissors to cut the end of the film. You are only working with what you can touch. 
Do not cut to much off, or you will be cutting off your exposed film. 
Step 3: Hold your film in one hand and your spiral in the other- search and feel around for the two notches, one on either side.  Place your film underneath the two notches, pull it round gently and then use two hands to turn one side down and the in the other hand pull the other side up. 
Pull it round until you run out of film. It make sure you have defiantly run out of film gently pull the cassette and if it doesn't allow you to pull anymore out- cut the end off and then continue to turn the spiral until there's nothing left. 
Step 4: Slide the spiral into the centre column. Making sure the flat, wider part is on the bottom.  The spiral on the column must be fully down. If you only have one film, you have to put an empty spiral on top. 
Step 5: Once the centre column and spirals are in the tank body- secure the funnel lid by twisting and locking it into place. Secure the plastic cap and remove everything from the bag. You add the chemicals next. 
Do not remove lid or change anything in light, as you will expose your film and destiny your photos.
