The sink has a UV exposure unit under it as well but having a proper sink is 
good for spills and dripping albumen when coating etc.  I have 2 units in this 
bldg. and so I have an 8 ft commute to work.  The "kitchen" is the washing, 
drying,  film processing area.  I tossed the stove when I moved my biz in here. 
 
Watch craigslist for darkroom stuff as at least in Chicago there's new stuff 
there everyday.  You'll prolly find a sink eventually at the size you 
need/want, and when you move to somewhere more conducive, you'll have a sink 
RTG.  When we move to a permanent place I'll set up the darkroom wet, but I'm 
ready w/that 7 ft sink I bought years ago for $90.

   Very interesting. How do you wash your prints ? And why did you setup a dry 
sink instead of just throwing trays down on a table ?
