Owen ★★★★★

Mixed up a batch for paper this time and the 5L concentrate really goes a long way. Clears film in just over a minute with no streaking.

Leo C. ★★★★★

Mixed up a fresh batch this morning and went through a stack of 4x5 sheets — cleared the milky base in under a minute with no streaking. The liquid concentrate is easy to measure and mixes cleanly right in the bottle. A solid workhorse for the darkroom.

James B. ★★★★★

Worked through a 5L jug fixing both film and paper without a hitch — the liquid concentrate mixed up clear and fast, no hardener to worry about. Took a couple of rolls from soup to dry in under five minutes total. Definitely ordering another when this runs out.
