jacobmiles Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I wondered if anyone's ever tried just using a thermos to develop b+w film? I was thinking of getting a unicolor motor base and a thermos and seeing what I could do. The trickiest part, I think, would be finding a thermos of the right size to hold a stainless steel film reel. Perhaps there's another way to hold the film away from itself. If anyone has tried this or similar ventures, please enlighten me with your experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobmiles Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 Incidentally, this is for developing 120 b+w film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sionnac Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Biggest problem - fitting the cap so as to add/empty chemicals with no light leak... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_lui Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Unicolor made jacketed (thermos) film tank I used with my motor base. Loved it till I got my jobo. Try ebay...saw one for $3. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowland_mowrey Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Jacob; Commercial thermos containers with wide mouths are readily available. They are called Dewar flasks, and are used in laboratories to contain liquid gases. There are several types of stoppers available to close off the wide open end. Personally, I think this is a useless quest. Ron Mowrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryo Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Why, stainless steel tanks are a dime-a-dozen on e-bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
