Hi John - it's a half bottle of Ilford Rapid Fixer which went dead that prompted me to try this. I buy it in 1L size, and this one kipped before I could finish it. At a few dollars for a can of...

Hi Logan,
I'm not sure if you would risk exhaustion at Dilution H, at least with a single roll in a double tank (@7.5ml syrup). Note that Covington talks about 6ml syrup per roll as a minimum;...

Hi Pete,
If you have a Patterson or other tank that takes two rolls of 135, and you use, say, ID-11 at 1+1, then these bottles will be useful. I have started saving some 300ml sport drink bottles...
