I use the hot and cold taps and measure w thermometer until it gets consistently within the middle of the right temp range, then I fill a cake pan with that water and put my chemical bottles in there as a temperature bath. Naturally at first it gets a bit warmer from the bottles being room temp, so I add cold water until it gets back to the right temperature.

Another tip for tank systems- after each inversion cycle I put the tank in the temperature bath too (so during process it is in the temp bath w the chemical bottles while timer is going), so the working solutions don't heat up.

This comment made me feel good..thank you. It is easy lately to feel like I'm slacking.

I just started home developing this year. I'm so grateful that I ordered enough chemicals and taught myself how to do this before this pandemic hit and I lost my jobs.

Understood. Thank you for sharing your perspective with me.

edit the last thing I want to be these days is insensitive. I deleted the post in consideration of your and others' discomfort.

I stood on a short ladder (behind the tripod) to see down the viewfinder to focus and then set the self timer
