Dark Brown Dektol
I mixed a package of dectol that may have been a few years old. It was
a very dark brown solution. I have never seen such a mix. Obviously there was some oxidation or an other reaction. Would this stuff still work? I sometimes notice that dektol may sometimes mix to an off color. Any thoughts? |

Might work but also might stain your prints and probably won't develop a good d-max anyway. Regards, John S.
