bottles to use for C-41?
Does it matter? I'm going to use the developer one shot. I'm leaning towards using the stop one shot. That leaves fix and bleach. It seems the bleach likes oxygen. So does that mean plastic bottles are okay? How about the fixer? Thanks Nick |

bottles to use for C-41?
Hi Nick,
I use glass for all my developer bottles to reduce oxidation. I too use C-41 one-shot, but refrigerate what is left for the next use. With glass and refirgeration, I can get a reasonable period of time out of the batch. I don't worry so much about the blix. It even stays at room temperature and has been known to last from 6 months to a year., depending on the number of films developed. Francis A. Miniter Nick Zentena wrote: Does it matter?

I'm planning on sizing the batch to the amount of film I'm developing. I'm used to doing that with B&W developer so I figure I'll do the same with colour. I've got everything but the missing in the mail scale right now. It's causing me to think about all the little issues I'd usually just not waste any time with. On the bleach I read something like " re-use until it doesn't bleach anymore" Now how can I tell if it's not bleaching? What should I look for? Thanks Nick |
