I think the problem is the gooey stuff just outside the image area. If I try to 
put the film in a bag or folder, they get squeezed out to make a mess on the 
image area. I guess a box or something that allows to carry the film loosely in 
a closed container might be the way to go.

Regarding solarization effect, I've been giving extra processing time (1 minute 
for FP-3000B, 3 minutes for FP-100C) and I didn't see any solarization effect so 
far. But at the same time I didn't test by intentionally exposing to strong 
light either.
