[APML] Rookie Hypering Advice Lumicon 600

["Gerry Cichocki" <gcichocki@hotmail.com>]

Hello, I just purchased a 600 hypering kit (50deg & 30 deg probes) & using 
the hand pump. I  am also near sea level.
I plan on hypering the film in the canister for now & will be using Kodak 
Supra 400 print film (which may be or is similar to royal gold 400). Any way 
here are my questions:
1) Lumicon mentions to hyper for 3days/ 15psi at 30 deg. But it looks like 
many of you are only doing 4-6 hrs at 3psi at 50 deg (in the canister). 
Where do you reccommend starting. I'm aware of checking the density on test 
rolls & will do that but I'm hoping someone already uses this film on a 600 
kit & may have a real world answer.
2) Do you just lay the film canister in the  empty chamber or lay it in (or 
on) the  patterson spool inside the chamber.?
3) when ready to remove the film after hypering do you need to slowly 
release the pressure inside (via the center knob or valve) or not?
4) When someone mentions "outgassing" what do you mean?
5) I am very interested in hearing the exact procedures that you use. I 
think some mentioned letting the film sit in a heated ( or unheated ?) 
chamber for some time before introducing the final gas.
  Once again thank you in advance for your advice, Gerry
