Don’t be impatient when drying film…You can try a squeegee, if you like… you may have decent results for a time (I didn’t), but you’ll eventually scratch your film (or so says every message board I read on the topic of drying film).
You can try the finger squeegee method: and may you have better results than I did. I might try again, but my early attempts were not particularly promising.
Whatever you do, don’t, please don’t wipe wet negatives with a cloth.
If you do, you’ll end up with fibers and hairs, stuck fast to the dried emulsion.
If they’re on the base side, you have few worries: they’ll wipe right off. But wet emulsion is sticky and fragile.
