I made a rectangular array of 1/2 inch PVC pipe with a nipple and garden
hose fitting at the top - this is mounted on one side of the tray using hose
clamps. I drilled a series of small holes in the pipe ar various angles so
that water would jet out of the pipe in a random pattern. Then, I drilled
another series of holes long the opposite edge of the tray about 1/2 inch
below the top edge.
In use, I place the tray in the laundry basin and connect a short length of
hose between the faucet and the hose fitting on the PVC pipe. I let the
water run for a few minutes to start filling the tray, and then take my
prints out of the hypo-clear (I use rapid fix, followed by a holding bath,
followed by hypoclear, followed by selenium toner 1:32 in hypoclear,
followed by a second brief rinse in hypoclear) and place them in the tray.
I try to place the larger prints at the bottom of the tray and the smaller
ones at the top just for convenience. I wash the prints for 30-45 minutes
with the water flowing fast enough to stream out of the small holes at the
edge of the tray, but no so fast that the water fills beyond the line of
holes and spills over the edge of the tray.
The random streams of water inside the tray keep the prints separated.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Periodically -say every 10 minutes or so - I leaf through the prints to make
sure than none are sticking together.
Total cost - about $15................"
Maybe a good solution, especially the idea of this random streams; one could
probably just put a pipe with wholes in the normal washing tray connected to
the tap with 'gardeners watersupply tools' (know what I mean?)
Hope this helps,
