How dark, darkroom has to be?

My answer to film developing is a big cardboard box, gaffer tape and a large piece of black cloth.

Basically I seal the bottom of the box with the tape and any other hols or 'thin bits'. Place box on its side on a table in a room at night and as dark as you can make it. Drape cloth over open front of box so it will act as a curtain and then use this mini darkroom to load film, sort cameras etc by reaching up and under cloth. It's a solution I came to after changing bags proved to be impracticable, mainly due to my sweaty hands that dampened the reels and prevented the film from running smoothly, if at all, in the plastic channels.

Now all I need is some method of blacking out Velux type roof windows so I can do some printing. Their so called blackout blinds are nothing of the sort.

Justin.
