Adding Fix for Developing Film

Video Transcript

"The third step is my fixer. Now the fix I made, 1 to 4 dilutions, same way as I did the previous chemicals. I pour it in carefully, and once my fixer is in the canister, I set the timer for 5 seconds. Now the fixer is very similar to the developer, whereas for the first minute, for 60 seconds, I'm agitating it in a figure 8. Now, again as I previously said this fixer is probably the nastiest stuff you're going to use in here. It smells, it will stain your clothes. If you have any kinds of cuts on your hand, make sure you're wearing gloves because you'll feel it with those cuts. So, I'm just shaking, and again, after one minute is up, I want to sort of tap this can to get any kind of air bubbles off that film. The fixer is the chemical that once you're done using it, you can actually open up the canister and look at your film. This is the chemical that makes the film okay to open up in light, so to speak."
