Processing Black and White photos: Summary

In a completely dark room, crank open a cassette a film and remove the film. Place the flat end of the film to the flat end of the canister and start winding the film till it's all in. Then place the canister with the winded film into a film reel. Place the reel into a film tank and make sure the lid is on perfectly and tightly. When the film is securely in the tank, no light going in, turn the light on.
At this point you need to have your goggles on. You're about to work with the next chemicals: a film developer, a stop bath, and a fixer with hardener, then a wash. first you measure 1 part solutionts water. Measure the temperature. Look at the chart that determines how long you are going to keep it in there for. However long you have it, you agitate for 30 seconds, then let stand for 30 seconds. So on for the rest of the time. Then you pour out the solution, you immediately need to have the next chemical ready. Which would be a stop bath, to stop the film developer from doibng what it's doing. Then you pour it out and place the nest solution and see the time. and again, so on. One final wash for 5 minutes.
Take the negativese and place them on clips. Let them dry. In about 1 or 2 hours, They should be dry. Then you cut the film into strips. being super careful. Then place the negatives in clear glassine envelopes
