Hi all,
Sunday morning... and I'm reading this... but on the offhand chance I
got an answer, and could develop a roll before heading off to church...
You all missed my question, my fault. Let me try again.
I'm asking about Full Strength (not 1:1) for reuse. from my 1L bottle
of stock. Do re-use by putting what I used for one roll of film
(usually around 450ml) back into the bottle it came from, mix, and
then pour out another amount for the next roll? If I do that, I
imagine that the life of this 1L stock solution is considerably
shorter at this point. I believe I would get 15 rolls of film out of
re-used/replenished stock (extending time with each 5 rolls), rather
than 4 rolls (120) out of the 1:1 one-shot.
Thanks,
Elias

Elias, I'm under the impression that diluted Xtol should be used
single shot -- no reason you could not use one diluted batch to
anticipated exhaustion -- but I would not mix it back in with the
stock. I've been using replenished stock lately, the routine is very
easy and developing performance is predictable. I have a liter of
working stock and add a bit of fresh developer for each roll I
develop. This keeps the stock bottle topped up and replenished.
So does this mean you develop however number of rolls in 1L of stock
each time? I only have a single roll capacity tank for my 120 reel.
