[pure-silver] Re: lids for film processing canisters leaking

If the canisters are anything like the Nikor developing tanks the lids
were fitted to specific tanks.  If you used the wrong lid it would
either leak or become jammed on the tank.  The secret was to scratch an
identifying mark on both the tank and the lid so that they couldn't get
separated.

Could this be the cause, that the lids have become switched?

Subject: [pure-silver] lids for film processing canisters leaking


Hi,

I've been using those tall thin metal canisters for processing 120 
film. I had two lids, one for each canister, and they fit perfectly 
last spring.  Now all of a sudden, they leak like crazy when I invert 
the canisters to agitate.  Do these things just wear out after a 
while?  I ordered some more from B and H.  Is there a better tool for 
processing 120 film?
