[pure-silver] Re: how critical is E6 temp and...

I typically used 2 heaters, one on each side of the tank and they would get high enough. At least the ones I did. Once I found the right mark on the heater, it will usually return to very close to the same temp the next time you hook the set up again to use the next time with very minor tweaking.

First is quite critical. I use a couple of large coolers (one as a water
bath & one as a water bath for the mixture)
Large water volume & insulation kept the temperature on. Could never find
fish tank heaters that went high enough & never was willing to part with the 
$ to buy Jobo's heaters.

Always use the 6 bath process. Figured if the commercial operations stuck
with 6 despite the pressure to reduce costs there must be some good reason. The time & $ I'd spent to take the picture far exceeded any savings in time 
or $ developing to take a chance.

I've asked this elsewhere but thought I would ask here as well cos I know
there are some colour experts among you all.

Two questions: firstly, how critical is E6 processing temp as I'm going to
try for the first time using a makeshift water bath setup. As far as I have 
gathered so far, providing the temp doesn't vary by more than 1 degree
during the first dev bath, I should be OK.

and secondly, is the full 6 bath E6 process worth doing as opposed to the
shorter/quicker 3 bath E6 process and why?

Thanks,

Rob
