Article: Take the spiral out from the development tank and lightly pull on the end of the strip. Secure a wooden or plastic clip to the end and use it to gently tug the film. Your film should easily unravel from the spiral. There will not be any photographs on the end of the strip so your clip won't damage any negatives. The film is safe to handle in the light after it's been developed. Fasten the clip onto a hook or nail along with your film so it can hang. Make sure the film doesn't touch anything while it hangs or else you could get dust on your negatives. Make sure the room you're using is clean and dust-free since it could damage your negatives. Cut the negatives into smaller strips if you do not have the space to hang the full strip. Pinch the top of the film between the squeegee tongs and gently squeeze them together. Pull the squeegee down the length of the film strip to remove any water droplets from your negatives. Avoid touching or handling your film during this time so it can dry completely. Leave the film alone for the next 4 hours until it's dry to the touch. When the film is dry, you can store the negatives or scan them into your computer.
