Response to Xtol update... dreaded Xtol failures

Brian, I had almost the same exact experience as you did in using XTOL with Delta 100 and TMX. In Kodak's own statements about the XTOL "problem" they have stated that many of XTOL failures reported to them have been when developing TMX. After experiencing problems with the XTOL/TMX combination, I have used the exact same partially filled bottle of XTOL months later to develop 4 other emulsions with no problem. I have even tried developing TMX and Delta 100 in the same tank together, and achieved the same results you have reported.
