Gloves and respirator should be sufficient. I don't process colour reversal
often, but since I only have one mask, if I am processing with someone else
I just make sure we are in a well ventilated room. Just make sure the gloves
are not latex, they are permiable. Use something like butyl or another
non-permiable lab-type glove.
If you do get any of the chemicals on your skin make sure you wash it off
right away. Even the ones that aren't necessarily caustic tend to irritate
my skin.
