If you added a tap of ascorbic acid (vitamins C) as a friend of mine did to
just mixed up D76 1:1 you'd find the results not that far from Xtol and
maybe even better. Actually a lot of people did this. Still doing it maybe.
Xtol without the fear.
If your ascorbic acid (maybe just get some in powder from either from a
drugstore or a photo place) is a little chunky looking as in not fully
dissolved I'd not worry about it.
