I found a fairly easy work around for that one. I have attached several strips of wood to my darkroom ceiling with little metal hooks screwed into them that will take Patterson film drying clips. I have capacity for 20 films, although, in fact, I've never done that many at once. I have two air filters in the room that produce near clean room conditions whilst the films dry, to avoid dust problems. Incidentally, I too get round the damp reel issue by having a lot of reels. They aren't that expensive.
