When development is complete, the films are removed from the developer,<br />

allowed to drain 1 or 2 seconds (not back into the developer tank), and<br />

immersed in the stop bath. The developer draining from the films should be<br />

kept out <strong>of</strong> the stop bath. Instead <strong>of</strong> draining, a few seconds‘ rinse in fresh<br />

running water may be used prior to inserting the films in the stop bath. This<br />

will materially prolong the life <strong>of</strong> the bath. Films should be immersed in the<br />

stop bath for 30 to 60 seconds (ideally, at 65 to 70°F or 18 to 21°C) with<br />

moderate agitation and then transferred to the fixing bath. Five gallons <strong>of</strong> stop<br />

bath will treat about 100’s 14 x 17-inch films, or equivalent. If a developer<br />

containing sodium carbonate is used, the stop bath temperature must be<br />

maintained between (65 and 70°F or 18 to 21°C); otherwise, blisters<br />

containing carbon dioxide may be formed in the emulsion by action <strong>of</strong> the<br />

stop bath.<br />
