At one point I inspected by own ss reels with a loupe and found little
flecks of stuff dried in place. I discovered that re-using photo flow was
not a good idea, and a "fresh" gallon mix of it had developed it's own kind
of "pond scum." Yuck. Mixing a fresh quart of photo flo when needed fixed
a lot of quality problems. Dad, being a tech rep for Kodak used to see
these problems all the time. It was all very interesting.
Over- agitation could cause darkening at the edges due to swirling of
chemicals. More than 5 seconds every 30 seconds can be bad.
Plastic reels were common in out high school photo class, but they had to be
bone dry for the next class to be able to use them.

> The only problem I ever had with SS reels is that I got what looked like
overexposed edges on the sproket sides of the film. It wasn't the light
seals as slides turned out fine. I never figured out if they were
"contaminated" or if it was because I wasn't pre-soaking. These rells
belonged to the University, and after I found out what was happening, I just
bought a set for myself. Either way I have never had a problem since.
