Hello everyone,
I live in Dubai and I have one concern. During the summer the running water from the tap can easily be 30, 35°C. Is it safe to do the final wash (after developing and fixing the film on normal developing temp.) of the film on this water temperature.
Thank you

Perhaps the Ilford method might be better.
Pour some water into a large jug and allow it to cool in a refrigerator to around 20* Celsius.
Fill the tank and invert it 5 times and then discard.
Repeat with refilling and inverting 10 times and then another refill with 20 inversions.
A final rinse in a wetting agent solution and your film is ready to dry.
