>The part A powder in the two packages of Xtol purchased last week was caked
>inside the foil pouch as if the powder had become damp.  This powder did

>looked a little thin.

>>From photo.net I learned that Kodak has had some packaging problems with

>email the folks in Rochester from their web page about the situation but
>have not yet received a reply.

>Much as I liked what Xtol can do, I guess until Kodak cleans up its act,
