Well in my experience it can be done John. It just requires some household bleach that hasn't been diluted to death and patience that lasts for up to several days. Oh and a bottle brush that is deep enough to still give you "purchase".
Unfortunately it doesn't make your prints any better anymore than a clean car goes faster Mike |

For what it is worth I found that Tarbuster is excellent and reasonably economical for ridding the slot of developer tar, especially RA4 developer but nothing like as good for fixer stains where good old fashioned household bleach and a bit of time seems to work better and quite cheaply

Tray Cleaner 1 (TC1)
1L water 90gr Pot. Bichromate 96ml Sulfuric acid, concentrated. I've used it fillling trays, slots, or just scrubbing with a brush soaked in it. Then rinse. Use protection (gloves, lab coat, eye protection) and common sense from mixing properly to use; you don't want the stuff splashing everywhere, isn't healthy and – ironically – it stains. On a glass stoppered bottle it lasts nearly forever, I keep using the same solution for longer than I can recall. TC3 is less aggressive, and still a good cleaner in two solutions, but I don't have the formula at hand. IIRC it had sulfuric acid, and pot. permanganate in a far lower concentration. Jobo processor clean does the trick too, but ain't cheap, probably in the same league than Nova's. Also there is – or was – a third product from tetenal, but can't tell you about the price. |
