Response to Shelf life of XTOL

IMHO, XTOL seems to be most unreliable with t-grain films. With conventional films, particulary FP4+ and 1:3, the stuff is magic. I've never had inconsistancy, much less outright thin negs. I store it in clear 16 oz plastic soda (water, actually) bottles and use it as a one shot. Even at 3 or 4 months, with stuff starting to grow in it, the results have been fine! You really should give it a try, but not with t-grain and especially not with TMX.
