But they are so cheap that I just mix the stop from the flowing wash water that is up to temp. And I keep the fix tempered in it too but it will do several runs before you need to replace it. In fact, it's good for the environment for you to do so. There is a small chemical you can buy that you drop a few drops into fix, and it it creates a cloud, then you know the fix needs to be replaced. It's been so long since I've processed black and white I forget what that chemical is. Heico Permawash? I think it's instructions will tell you how much it can be used. But it too is so cheap I don't think it's worth taking a chance. The bottle will last a very long time anyway. Make it one-shot and mix it from the flowing wash water. I used to put half a capful if, I remember correctly, in an 8-rell stainless tank, and then dip the film in it. On Dec 14, 2003, at 2:49 AM, Richard F.
