Re photo smell
In the past, before a long dry period, I used those almost cubic bottles of
HC-110 (I did not mix a stock solution - always concentrated - working). I remember it had a characteristic smell - kind of rotten (sulfur?). Nowadays, no more. Anyone can remember it? Thanks, Jorge |

Yes, I really mean it - the cylindrical bottle I have today (bought close to one yr ago) doesn't have this smell. ??? Jorge |

Thanks, Jorge Jorge, Kodak has reformulated HC-110 over the years, and yes, you're right, the 1 liter round bottle doesn't have that old smell. Probably due to a reformulation seeing as HC-110 (like Rodinal) always last for ever in concentrates and get used up slowly. BTW, any news on the Enlarger???

Re photo smell
Hello, Jim
So I wasn't dreaming about a gone smell... No, not yet. Surface mail takes a long time. I'm expecting it by next month. In the past I used to subscribe to some magazines surface mail. Sometimes say the February issue would arrive before the January, etc. No logic in it.

You use HC-110 to print? I used to. With some carbonate added, and a little sulfite, it makes a good print developer. |

I read somewhere that Kodak used catechol at one time in place of hydroquinone. The two are closely related, having in fact the same empirical formula, but catechol has a different smell. Both are in fact tanning-staining developers under the right conditions. |
