Mixing the Chemicals
Cinestill c41 kit comes with well documented instructions for mixing the chemicals.
Initial Notes
- USE DISTILLED WATER *you can use tap water, but it is strongly recommended to use distilled to avoid any unfavorable reactions
- •Use water at the temperature you want to use to develop your film. This allows for shorter warm-up time
- Stir continuously while mixing
- Keep everything very clean. A few drops of Blix, soap or other contaminates can destroy the developers.
- Mark your containers clearly. This will prevent confusion and processing out of order
