I agree with Tim's advice Janet.
The only other thing I do differently now is that I have stopped running my
fingers down the film after photo-flo or similar. I trialled this after
reading the Maco advice for their product. Just soak for a minute and hang,
don't touch. It seems to work fine with their product and 120 film.

Subject: [pure-silver] a recent problem with fine dust on negs
I have a problem I've never had before, and I'm not sure why. The
last few times I've processed film the negatives have had lots of very
fine dust that shows up terribly on prints. If I rinse these cut
negatives and hang to dry, they're better. I'm rinsing the same way I
always have when I process, so what could be the problem? I usually
hang the negatives to dry in my shower, and I have recently with this
problem. Last night I processed film and hung it in my darkroom.
Same problem.
THe only change has been that we recently changed from well to county
water. That shouldn't make a problem like this, should it?
I process, rinse, stop, fix, use perma wash, rinse in running water,
then rinse in distilled water. I hang the negatives with clothes pins
on a coat hanger, in the shower. We're careful not to sprinkle
anything (like baby powder) in the bathroom when negatives are
hanging. It's the same process I've always used. What could be
causing the problem that I'm missing?
Thank you,
Janet
