Makeshift Film Drying Clips

[Jarvman]

Hello, I can't find any film drying clips for a decent price at the moment. I'm certainly not paying £10 for two clips, when I intend to process 8 films at a time. Are there any common household items that will do the same job of hanging/weighting? Cheers

Try the "Dollar Store" or local equivalent for these:

I use regular wooden spring-loaded clothespins.

+1 on the clothespins.

+2 on the clothespins.

I'm also a fan of clothespins, just replace them frequently to avoid contamination!

I use binder clips from the office supply stores. They don't grab as much of the film as clothespins, don't absorb water.

Clothes pins, hang one on each corner

Magic, clothespegs/bulldog clips it is then! Just need to order a bigger dev tank now. Thanks all!

Morrisons (UK supermarket) do a pack of freezer bag clips. Two large, and four small - I find the small ones ideal for hanging sheet film by the corners.
