WELLINGTON Film will be found to have splendid
keeping properties, but all films should be kept in a cool, dry place.
A room in which there is usually a fire is not a good place for keeping
sensitive materials.
All solutions applied either to plates or films should be as
near one temperature as possible. In summer time they should
be as cold as possible, but in the depth of winter it is well to bring
them to the temperature of an ordinary living room, say, 60° Fahr.,
before using. An ice-cold developer or fixer is very slow in action,
and the former may lead the user to suppose his films are under-
exposed, when the exposure all the time has been correct.
