[Leica] What causes blocked up shadow?

[richard-lists at imagecraft.com (Richard)]

Hi Dan, possibly. The XTOL working solution is ~7-8 months old. Last 2 
months I store it in one of those "accordian" style bottle to minimize the 
air contact but it was in a plain bottle prior to that. I just mixed a 
batch of Ilfotec DDX a couple weeks ago. I think I will switch to that for 
the next roll and pour the remaining XTOL out. Can't be more than 500 ml 
left anyway.

Thanks.
