I always set the room temp up several hours before printing, so chemistry temp drop is minimized.


at the moment i'm heating chemicals before i begin printing and then
let them cool down during the whole print session (which means at
least 3 hours to get a decent print, then i wash everything and i go
to bed - yep, i know i'm really poor in darkroom... :)
this is because i don't have anything to keep them warm.
in this way, chemicals are, say, at 22°c when starting the whole thing
and their temperature drops to 18 or less during the time.

i've read on "the print" by adams that he used a huge thermostatic
sink with the 3 bath and everything else immersed in it, but i can't
adopt this solution because of space and another number of reasons.

what do you use to keep the baths' temperature circa-constant?
