Yes, I was thinking about this very thing while driving to work this
morning. The real issue is how to ensure that the antihalation backing on
the film is removed. I was wondering if perhaps a pre-wash bath could be
formulated to remove the antihalation coating? If so, it really shouldn't
matter if you developed in tubes with grooves, bumps, or whatever.
Perhaps the developer bath is all that is needed?
