Drying rack




looking around the internet there are a number of DIY drying racks ranging from ones made from PVC conduit to a modified salad spinner dryer that can hold the Lomo reel just to be used as a turntable (not using the centrifugal force that the spinner normally uses to dry salad rather relying on the fan from a hairdryer (without the heating element) whilst slowly being hand cranked, my favourite.
having an old salad spinner about I had decided to adapt this idea to make a compact and neat option with a small electric fan (summer cooling fan)
This concept of keeping the film on the Lomo spool whilst drying would be not be appropriate for films with remjet (like mine), as the film needs to be removed from the Lomo spool to be hand cleaned. Once it is off the spool it will have to stay off as it would be very difficult to load back onto it again
Due to this fact, time constraints and there being easy alternatives I have opted to use a clothes drying rack to hang the film for these experiments.
