"My ten minutes are up, and what I'm going to do with my developer is I'm just going to pour it down the drain. Developer and stop bath are really technically the only things you should pour down the drain. Don't ever pour your fix down the drain. Once the developer is down, I'm going to take my stop bath and I'm going to pour it in the same way -I take the cap off, 90 degree angle, and pour it in. And again, I want to make sure I fill it up all the way to the top, put my cap back on. Stop bath is one minute, and for that first minute you agitate the whole minute. So again, kind of recap, I poured my developer down the drain when the ten minutes were up, and then I poured my stop bath in. I'm shaking my stop bath, figure eights, and I'm getting ready because after this I'm going to pour the stop bath down the drain, and then I'll get ready to use my fix."
