Gentlemen, There is always a limit to the amount of energy one can put into something like this. If that movie film can be processed in C41 good. If you need to use caustic soda or boiling lye to remove a layer before you start ... its too much trouble. Warm water, if it would do the trick is okay (for me) but anything more is not worth the effort (for me). If the process doesn't work, give up. Don't try, try again.
