Awhile back someone suggested using a heating pad.  I would suggest using a 
ground fault outlet in connection with this although modern heating pads are 
sealed in plastic.

Subject: [pure-silver] how to keep paper chemicals warm?


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?

thanks in advance.
