Nick, you may have got it -- Your comment reminds me that I had a student
once who successfully reticulated film (after yellow & green fathers had
made it so difficult) and that was the key -- before fixing. Tho at some
point of the process film also went -- not in the fridge, but into the
FREEZER.
I'll add that I too once got exquisite reticulation when not intended --
my most determined attempt to roll 35 mm onto stainless reels. Got two
coils onto same track somehow, and splendid reticulation... but for once I
knew better than to try a repeat. I switched to the plastic wiggle'em
reels, and never another "accident."
best,
Judy
