Had to add some Hydroquinone to my D23 I felt because I think Tri X wants it or it is too mushy! But you don't want to create a situation where you need a restrainer: Bromide. I used the above for several years after using something to the effect of D23 1:1 for several years which I measured volumetrically. Before that it was Beutlers.
