After the film is fixed, you can open the larger lid and run cool 68 degree water into the tank. You should rinse the film for about 30 minutes under running water. Don't turn the water on full force, just a slight flow will do.

You can purchase Photo-Flo to decrease the viscosity of the water left on the film. It can save hours of spotting (or retouching) of your prints caused by water spots. Mix a drop or two in the water at the end of the rinse cycle.

When the film is ready, take the reel out of the tank and unwind it from the reel. A good thing to do is snap the film to get most of the water off. Hold both ends and give it a tug.

Find a dust free area in your house to hang the film to dry with a film clip on each end. If you use a closet, put an old towel under the film to drip on.

When the film is completely dry - you will be able to tell when it has a slight curve to it all the way to the bottom - take it to a clean table or light box and cut into strips of 5 or 6 frames each. You should have some Glassine envelopes or film pages to put the film in.
