And you really don't want to mix it up too hot. The Vitamin C does not fight for you. Almost every time i mix up a new batch of Xtol i use some immediately. Not all the flakes and crystals may be completely dissolved i don't obsess on that. It's never been a problem with any developer I've used. You'd think some flakes would stick to the film and screw it up but they just don't. Really. Obviously you are agitating once a minute or every 30 seconds and the first minute. Usually the next day you look into the bottles and the flakes are gone.
