[APML] Storage and Transport of hypered film

[steve banbury <banburys@sonic.net>]

I have a couple of general questions about storage and transport of hypered films that I hope some of you experts can help with.

Having hypered at 50 deg C for a number of hours, if the film is allowed to cool and then stored in a sealed chamber, will the hypered benefits be preserved longer by
back filling the chamber with room temp hypering gas or dry nitrogen? It seems likely that the room temp condition would not continue the hypering process

I am considering making some little tubes to store 2-35 mm rolls of film in  the freezer, which could be dropped into the ice chest for transport to a dark site. As long
as I'm making something, it wouldn't be a big deal to make them with a valve so they could be purged.

Dessicant is a lot less hassle unless there is a real extention of the film life associated with provision of a purge.
Any special care post exposure would also be interesting to know about.

Thanks--Steve
