Remove the film spiral from the tank and gently pull the end of the film strip out. Use a clothespin or a similar clip to hold onto the end of the film. The end of the film strip will not have any exposed photos on it so you don't have to worry about damaging them. Hold the clip with one hand and the spiral with the other. Pull slowly on the clip so the film unravels from the spool. Place the clip along a string so the film doesn't touch the ground or the wall. Don't let anything touch the negatives. Work in a clean room where wind or dust won't damage your negatives. Start from the top of the film strip and gently squeeze it between 2 fingers or a squeegee tongs. Work down the entire length of the film so there is no dripping water. Wear clean vinyl or rubber gloves if you're using your fingers. Place another clip on the bottom of the strip so it doesn't twist or deform while it dries. The clip will also catch any drips that fall off of the film strip. Put a tray on the ground below the film strip if you don't want water or chemicals falling onto the floor. Don't touch your strips for at least 2 hours after you've cleaned and hung them to dry. Check how wet the film still is each hour by touching an area without an exposed photo. Once they are dry, they can be stored or scanned. To speed up the drying process, use a hairdryer on the lowest speed and heat setting and hold it 30 centimetres (0.98ft) from the film strip.

Summary: Attach a clip to the end of your film strip. Pull the film off of the spiral slowly and hang the strip off the ground. Wipe any excess liquid off the film strip with a squeegee or your gloves. Attach a weighted clip to the bottom of the film strip. Let the strip dry for at least 4 hours.

One use for luggage straps is to keep luggage from accidentally popping open at some point during transit. Hard-sided luggage usually has locks or clasps that can occasionally be damaged if they are thrown around. For hard sided luggage that has some sort of clasp on the top, wrap the strap around the luggage so that it keeps the luggage closed. Place the buckle in the middle of the front or back side. Cinch the strap tight against the luggage, but not so much that it bends the luggage. The strap should be at a right angle to the opening of the bag. Soft-sided luggage that is packed tightly can occasionally burst at the seams. A strap will help keep the luggage closed if it bursts its seams. Pull it tight enough that if the zipper comes open, the strap will keep the bag closed tightly. Stand your largest piece of luggage upright with handle extended. Set the next largest piece on top leaning against the handle. Wrap the strap under the bottom and around both pieces, going through the middle of a handle with two posts, or just to the edge of a handle with one post. Buckle the strap on the front middle of the lower piece of luggage. Cinch it tightly enough that the top piece does not move around, but not so tight that either piece of luggage bends under the pressure. You'll want to try your best to make it so that the handle will still shut, as it will not be able to stay extended during transit. Once the strap is secured around the luggage, there may be some of the strap that is loose. To avoid this loose cloth getting caught on something in transit, wrap it around the portion that's flat against the luggage and tie it in place. Most luggage straps are adjustable to different lengths, so when you have it set for a smaller piece of luggage than the maximum, you're likely to have some extra.

Summary: Wrap the strap around a hard-sided piece of luggage. Make sure the strap crosses the zipper of a soft-sided piece of luggage. Strap multiple pieces of luggage together. Secure any remaining length of strap.

"Yet" can give a sentence a certain distinctiveness and tone that "but" may not be able to do. Try replacing your use of "but" with "yet" in your sentences, placing a comma before "yet." For example, you may say, "Stella plays tennis well, yet her favorite sport is soccer," or, "I'm good at writing sonnets, yet I prefer reading haikus." "Yet" can help you provide more information about a subject or event that may be contradictory or ironic. It is often used in negative sentences, similar to how you might use the conjunction "nevertheless." For example, you may say, "The new tenants complained about the noise, yet they continue to play their music loud," or, "She dislikes meeting new people, yet she still showed up at the party." Often, you can remove the subject in the second half of the sentence. This allows you to remove the comma as well. For example, you may say, "The new tenants complained about the noise yet continue to play their music loud," or, "She dislikes meeting new people yet still showed up at the party." "Yet" is often used at the start of a sentence to share an afterthought or a second guess. It can also add a conversational flow to your sentences. For example, you may say, "Yet, despite my complaints, I still miss her company," or, "Yet I must admit I value facts more than mere superstitions."

Summary: Use "yet" like "but" in a sentence. Put "yet" in a sentence to expand or add to the content. Start a sentence with "yet" to give it tone and flow.

Check on the cheese balls after the 15 minutes. The tops of the cheese balls should have a light, golden-brown coloring. If the cheese balls still appear doughy or pale, continuing baking them for another 5 minutes. Create a single layer of cheese balls on a platter to keep them from getting soggy as they cool. Just be careful when eating the cheese balls after they come out of the oven, as they may still be very hot. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Summary: Bake the chilled cheese balls in the oven at 350F (177C) for 15 minutes. Arrange the cheese balls on a platter and serve immediately.
