Tetenal C41 Stabilizer

Does anyone knows what the agitation times for the Tetenal C41 chemistry? The directions give the agitation times for the developer and bleach-fix but not for the stabilizer. I am planning to develop a roll of film next week.

You drop the film into the stabilizer, leave it in for a minute or so
and pull it out again. It's nothing but a glorified wetting agent with a
few additives to kill fungus and bacteria.

Since this stuff builds up some nasty residue, it is recommended not to
pour it into the tank but to use a dedicated recipient and take the film
off the reel before putting it into the stabilizer.

An entire roll? All at once? No wonder the planning takes until next
week... ;-)

Does that advice also apply to common-or-garden wetting agent, e.g.
Agepon, Ilfotol or Photo-Flow?

Jobo recommends not letting photo-flo touch the reels or tanks. Not a
problem just grab a cheap plastic tub big enough to hold the film.

Yes. Long ago I went to the local store and bought a package of disposable
plastic bowls made by glad. I found a size that was the perfect size for 120mm
film and I put the photo-flo in it and then take the film off of the reel and
drop it in the photo-flo.
