FP-100c is easily one of my favorite stocks, and though I am grateful I have a fridge full of the stuff (in an undisclosed location), I still die a little with each pack I use, knowing that one day it will be the last. I love to recover my negs too, but I much prefer the "two-negative sandwich" method, where you use the stickiness of the goo to hold two negatives together face to face, and submerge them in a bleach solution. They stick together tightly enough that the bleach almost never touches the emulsion. You can see a demo on a few YT vids, including this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jYr6tNhSvM

Ooh very interesting Andrew, I had not yet heard of this method! Thank you for sharing.
Sure thing! I don't know if they discovered it, but I'm sure I was turned onto it by the Brothers Cinestill.
