Choosing drying clips, racks and wipers

Allow room under the hanger

Check the longest strip, the height of the hook and the space taken by the lower clip. A rack with several clip points helps separate strips. Read the package count if you want weighted clips for every strip.

Check what touches the film

Review the contact surfaces and the film maker’s handling directions. Use a clip on a suitable end of the strip. Where the directions support a wiper, check the blade width and the availability of replaceable contact strips.

Department questions

What is a weighted clip used for?

Place the weighted clip at the lower end of the hanging strip to help keep it straight during drying.

Can one drying rack serve more than one film width?

Compare the clip positions, spacing and width in the exact listing. Allow enough room for the longest wet strip below the hook.

What should I inspect before using a wiper?

Check the blade edges for damage or debris and follow the film maker’s handling directions for its emulsion.
