Eli I. ★★★★★

Switched to this from the usual vinegar-based stop bath and it's a game changer – no more eye-watering fumes in the darkroom. The indicator dye is really handy, turning purple just as the bath gets exhausted, so I know exactly when to mix a fresh batch.

Grace R. ★★★★★

Finally, a stop bath that doesn't fill the darkroom with that harsh vinegar smell. I've been using it for a few weeks and the indicator dye makes monitoring exhaustion effortless.

Brian P. ★★★★★

The indicator dye is a game changer—it turns yellow just as the bath starts to wear out, so I'm never guessing. My darkroom actually smells like nothing now, which makes long printing sessions way more comfortable.
