This remarks means probably more for the guy who developed it than myself - I'll pass it on
Thanks!

Could be - this will be hard incorporate into an advice for the guy who developed it - but noted for the future reference that wearing a hat might be a good idea during the process
Originally posted by tlong423 Well, water is the most appropriate thing to use. Simply re-wash the negatives. If you do not have developing tank / reels, you can just simply fill a clean Pyrex baking dish with room temp water and lay the negatives in it for a few minutes. That should be sufficient to release the specs (of whatever it is). Then remove the negative strips and hang to dry (you can softly blot them with a clean, soft cotton towel to avoid water stains).
Great ! I had no idea you could do that. the one I have doesn't look too bad so will do with PP but in case of a really bad one I might go this route - thanks !
