2nd- DEVELOPING THE FILM
Read the instructions for your Kodak chemicals.

1 - Mix chemicals int the following order; Developer, Stopbath, Fix, Rapid bath*, PhotoFlo.
The reason behind this is that you do not want to contaminate the Developer with the stopbath, the stopbath with the fix, etc.
I suggest mixing the chemicals in 32oz bottles.[url]

The stopbath, fix and photo flo are reusable (refer to kodak documentation). The Developer is not.
I suggest you find out how much water is required to cover the developing reels in your tank and mix only the required amount of developer for each run. (3.25g D76/1oz water = stock solution) Put 32oz bottle & funnel on postage scale (get from office supply, digital is nice). Zero scale w bottle & funnel. Slowly pour D76 powder until scale reads required gram weight of D76. Add water to required volume & shake.
2 - Get the tempature of the D76 solution & refer to the kodak documentation of adjusted developing time. (The reason for this is that the chemical reaction that develops the film happens faster at warmer tempatures and slower at colder tempatures.)
3 - Pour D76 solution over film
4- start timer
5 - gently agitate developing container for first 30 sec
6 -gently agitate developing container for first 10 sec of each min.
7 - pour out / dispose of developer solution
8 - pour in stop bath
9 - agitate for 30 sec
10 - pour stop bath back to 32 oz bottle
11 - pour in fix
12 - gently agitate developing container for first 30 sec
13 -gently agitate developing container for first 10 sec of each min for 10 min
14 - pour fix back int 32 oz bottle
15 - remove reels from developing tank and gently rense for 5 min
16 - immerse reels in photoflo
17 - remove film from reels and hang to dry in relatively dust free enviroment (bathroom)
* I have never heard of "hustler rapid bath". You are on you own on this one bub.
