I stumbled upon this for a portable Darkbox
It's a PORTABLE DARKROOM CHAIRSIDE by DENTALEMPORIUM for $99 on your favorite auction site
It's not setup for wetplate.
Here's my idea and please correct me if I am wrong.
Take that idea but use a cardboard box instead.
Cut the top of the 4 flaps off, turn it upside down so the bottom is the top now.
Put transparent red-plexi or ruby red glass on the top and one in the front for windows.
Put some arm holes in the box and install a type of black tube cloth like a sleeve off a shirt or jacket, tape it around the holes to block the light when you
put your arms through the holes.
While the front window lights the inside you look through the red window on top of the box to be able to see your developing?
When you’re done,you just lift the box off and your outside away from the fumes.
I don't even know if fumes are even an issue. I don't know how strong those chemicals are when your inside the box but I have read where others mentioned it's hot and stuffy and the fumes made them dizzy.
Plus,no big cloth to mess with.
All you need is a cardboard box with 2 holes for the windows and the arm holes
Here's my questions are:
1. Will you get fogging from all the red windows even if your setup in the shade?
2. Will you be able to see through the glass to see what you’re even doing?
3. Are fumes really that big of a deal by what little amount of time your in there?
Greatly appreciate your opinion,
Carl
