Thor, it's to do with the thickness of the base as well as it's make-up not the
processing.
I processed some FP4 and HP4, no problems but Delta 400 was like a spring. They
were all processed at the same time in Rodinal.
I've found that with some European films marketed under the Rollei brand I
can't uncoil them enough to put a weighted clip on the end without a fight to
hold it straight. As soon as they are dry, they spring back into a tight coil!
I am always conscious there is a severe risk of scratching the emulsion as it
flies back and has to be unrolled to cut the next piece off.

Subject: [rollei_list] Any tricks to keep film from curling when drying?
I’ve been developing a bunch of film lately, and notice that some - but not all
- rolls tend to curl significantly when drying, making putting into flat
sleeves a pita.
So far I’ve been developing Rollei Retro 100 (aka APX100) and APX100, there
doesn’t seem to be any clear factor in which films curl and which dont. All are
rinsed in water, then in water with a drop of photoflow, and are hung to dry
with a weight (clamp) hanging at the bottom.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Thor
