This is a followback from this post - I've proceeded before reading all the comments so sorry if any of this comment will make you furious!

Before starting - this was a TEST BATCH to developing some films I've found in two non-labeled winding machine I've bought on ebay. The point of all this process was having a first time to try the gear without caring much about the conclusion, so I could make here mistake and learn to avoid them in the future.

First of all, I've made a ton of errors, from using a monobath, the squeezer, rinse with (maybe too cold?) tap water and most of all I' ve processed two different films with different iso.

I've learned monobath is very temperature sensitive, I've used the right temperature (I've checkd with a thermometer) but it was intended for a 100 ISO film. I didn't understand if I have to use the same temperature of the chemical for the water or if it is a standard to use 20⁰C for rinse.

What bother me very much is that there are some big black areas on my second film. Why did it happend? Is because I've load the film wrongly or is the "shake technique" than I need to improve?

Another question I have about the last picture - the bottom part has this strange thing (I don't know how to explain in english sorry) that looks like the chemical didn't developed properly the film. How to avoid that for the next session?

Last question about the monobath - since now it's open I want to use it again (i dont want to waste it). Can I reuse the part I have already used for this session? I've separated the used chemical into a new bottle, is it waste or can I reuse it?

Thanks for the help and once I've finished this chemical I will buy the proper set! 🫶
