ReelDry PVA Microfiber Negative Wipes

$21.99

Bring pro-lab efficiency to your home darkroom.

Grain Foundry’s ReelDry towel is made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Unlike typical microfiber, PVA leaves no lint, no streaks, and no static behind, so your freshly processed negatives dry fast and dust-free.

Right after you pull your 35 mm, medium-format, or sheet film out of the final Photo-Flo rinse, ReelDry lets you wipe once and hang. The ultra-soft matrix soaks up surface moisture instantly while gliding over emulsions without abrasion. That means you can get your film to the scanner hours quicker, and minimize retouching time.

FIVE fully washable and reusable clothes per pack.

We've tested these cloths over two years and found that in most environments film is ready for scanning under an hour after wiping down with ReelDry cloths. These cloths have been thoroughly tested on popular film stocks from Kodak, Ilford, and Fuji, and we've never scratched a negative. Dries negatives far faster than the disposable wipes commonly used.

If you are using a lower cost film with a softer emulsion, it may be wise to spot test this cloth on that film first.
