Hi Jim,
I remember when the color canoes first came out. Paul Farber did a review in one of the camera magazines in which he said that besides their intended use they also made good foot baths. Perhaps you should have saved one for use after long printing sessions. :-)

I have a 8x10 Color Canoe which I use whenever I only need to make a print or two. Wish I could find an 11x14 (I know they made them). They are very convenient for this purpose.
Geez... I had, and used (for color) 8x10, 11x14, and 16x20 Color Canoes
- they made all three sizes. Since my procuring a large (up to 20x24)
rotary processor, the canoes were relegated to the far corners of the garage. A
few years ago, after finding no one who wanted them, they were given to
a metal recycler. Sorry... :-(
Even for one or two prints, it seems pretty easy, to me, to glug some developer, stop, and fix, into three trays and print. I might think that
I'm only going to make one or two prints, but it always ends up at a
half dozen or more.
For large RC prints (20x24 mainly) I use my JOBO since moving
lightweight 20x24 prints from tray to tray, is an exercise in origami. My JOBO will recycle the developer, stop, and fixer back into the delivery/storage
tanks so it's no different than using a tray full of developer that ages with
use.
