This didn't prevent impatient people from trying to hack the system. I worked for a news agency and we used the film AS it was being fixed, still wet and without even a rinse. Our developer and solutions were overheated to do things FAST. Our film had labels "URGENT - Newsfilm - USELESS if delayed. We did things to get results that you wouldn't believe today. | |

The water mostly slides off and the real drying time is letting the geliton layer dry out, not the remaining beaded water. | |
