No Xtol failure ever for this dude and it's getting into the years. I keep mine in five brown glass one liter bottles but when i use a half liter to pour the rest into a little half liter bottle and cap it off. They always work and are very convenient. The next batch i can pour right out of the half liter bottle without even measuring. 1:3 in a 2 liter metal tank! I have two rolls of 120 Delta 100 layed out on my light table right now from this week that would pass for APX 25 in Rodinal any day. Looks as sharp and if Call Kodak at 1-800-242-2424, my memory (dim but recent) is that there are some acknowledged "bad batches" of Xtol our there Dan pgw@ecr.net "It sounds like "Xtol failure"."
