However, he is covering both trays with the stuff and only one, presumably the same one is having problems. I also am assuming (a dangerous thing) that the Saran Wrap is not re-used. If so it certainly could have picked up some contaminent. It should really be discarded and replaced fresh each time. I rather think think this is what Bogdan is doing.

Hi,

No need to worry on that account, the Saran Wrap is a one shot deal. Putting it down is another matter.... you need four hands even with the least clinging stuff. anybody have an easy solution for covering up their filled trays overnight. I had thought of using a plexiglass covers floating on the top of the chemicals but the sides of the trays have a slight slope to them and varying levels of chemicals in them, so it is very hard to get a tight fit. I was thinking of something along the lines of the flotation lids on the old tanks for developing sheet film, but here, the sides were a straight vertical so you always had a reasonably good fit.

Anyway, Thanks all for your input.  Very helpful.

Ciao, Bogdan

I got curious and wrote to S.C.Johnson, the maker of Saran Wrap, to ask if any oxygen permeability tests were ever made. I suspect they have but will know when they answer. The same company also makes Zip-Lok bags and many other products. Saran Wrap is polyethylene.
