Tetenal Rinsing Query

[ImpMan71]

Hi,

I developed my first 2 rolls of colour the other day - with help from the many posts on here 😉
I'm very pleased with the results, I have just one question regarding the rinse process. There is no mention of rinsing after the stabilser - is this correct?
I gave mine a rinse after the stabiliser and had a couple of small water marks (used a couple of drops of Fairy Liquid as wetting agent) nothing major. But on reflection, I remember the stabiliser was quite foamy and wondered if I should not have given a final rinse after it.
I have been putting off processing colour for a long time - fear of the unknown, but have to say as everyone has mentioned on here - it is not any harder than B & W.
Thanks for any advice,
Colin

It's important that the stabilizer is the last step. It helps with film stability and longevity.
I would re-stabilize it and hang it to dry. Most stabilizers have (or should have) a wetting agent included to control spotting.

Exactly, a stabilizer is also containing a wetting agent. This is the last step before drying the film.

Thanks for this.

I will make sure it is the last step when I develop my next rolls.
These were only test rolls, so I'm not too concerned about re-stabilising them - that and I have already cut them down to scan!

Cheers,
Colin
