When used on film, it reduces the liklihood of water spots.HOWEVER instead of photoflo, a final dip of your film in some distilled water is better. It makes water more "runny" and less likely to stick to things. You can use a tiny, tiny dab of dishwater detergent which has the same effect. See for setting up and using darkroomsPhotoflow is nothing more than a wetting agent or surfactant. I would think that fewer chemicals would be better, so long as there are not major problems with not using them. Also, there is the whole issue of disposal.hypo clear to me seems to be just another chemical to learn to dispose of properly. I am just getting back into this and would like to work with supplies I already have and buy only a few basic chemicals. Do they have persistent issues with water spots?
I'm sure it's not good anymore, but do I need a wetting agent? I have read that some people do not use them. Secondly, I have some photo flo wetting agent that has been opened and has probably been sitting for about four years now. Is this true? What are the benefits of using hypo clear and can I live without it? Is it necessary for me to go out and buy this or is just using D-76, water stop, and prepared fixer acceptable? I read on one of these forums that using hypo clear will allow the negatives to last longer. I took photo classes in HS and college, and in my college class we used hypo clear. I graduated in May and finally have a little time to dabble in my photography hobby. I'm getting back into my darkroom photography supplies after a rather lengthy time away.
