I'd like to mix chems and do some development this weekend. I can do Sat
after 3 or Sunday any time. Jas? Preferences? I'm mixing the chems this
weekend come hell or high water but other folks can develop with them all
week. We just need to be reaally good about chem contamination. Would
appreciate Jas's detailed rundown for that.
