Thanks Cor,
I put my 5L of XTOL stock into brown airtight bottles too. Each time I
use some from a bottle I spray in some of Tetenal's Protectan Antioxidant
agent.
I'm aware Kodak put chelating agents into XTOL, but I want to squeeze as
much life as possible out of the XTOL by using water that has minimal iron
and copper in it to start with.
