Change their ml amounts to > drops and you still have too much!!! No wonder you have drying marks!! Ugh! I tell you something else they (Kodak) do: They put Selenium Toner in a bottle that looks identical to (but is fractionally taller than) the Photo-Flo bottle. Limited cupboard space leads to the two shuffling together, followed by a scream that froze the water in the mains pipes as I discovered one time what I'd just poured over my newly developed negs. They now have colour coded tape smothered over the caps. Another thing I've never understood about Photo-Flo: are you supposed to swish the stuff around in the water (without the reels in it) to mix the solution properly first, or is it sufficient to have three drops on the surface?
