[Frameworks] tips on solarizing tri-x super 8?

[Ken Paul Rosenthal]

I've flashed miles of b/w and color super 8, though it's been well over ten years. I've read and experienced that there are a variety of 'ideal' points at which to flash. I had the most 'success' halfway through. But on Phil Hoffman's Film Farm, we were encouraged to do it during the first third, if not earlier, using a mini mag light for couple of seconds.
I found the intensity and duration of the flash to more critical. I preferred using a clamp light with a 100 watt bulb. Then, lifting the entire, somewhat unravelled mess of film out of the tank, and holding it about 2 or 3 feet away from the light, I'd click it on and off as fast as I could, then returned it to the tank to continue processing where I left off.
