[Noisebridge-discuss] darkroom at the noisebridge space

[Mark Cohen]

That sounds awesome!

Design-wise, it might be interesting to build the whole thing that is  
at an angle and put a small hair dryer (set to low and diffuse the  
heat) at the top to aid in the drying.  I'm not sure what the weather  
is like in the mission most of the time, but out where I live my  
prints would never dry.

We might even want to look at getting a drying squeegee. (Tray,  
plexiglass, squeegee) as well.
