[Leica] xtol question -- getting personal

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Peter,

I'm told I'm a lucky one, no failures. And since I'm a hobby user I  
don't go through nearly as much developer as  Daniel does. But I  
always have X-Tol mixed on the shelf. I use 1 quart Ball jars filled  
right up to the top. I find that air, not light, is what makes X-Tol  
go bad. It should be perfectly clear, like distilled water. When it  
starts to turn it will take on a slightly yellow tint. That's when I  
throw it out.

If you want to hear about failures ask our saloon keeper. (if I  
remember correctly)
