Default Decanting chemicals

I have had a 5 litre bottle of Ilford Multigrade sitting in my darkroom cupboard for a month and when a new supply of 500cc glass bottles arrived this morning I set to and filled 9 x 1/2 lire bottles and 6 x 100cc bottles and put them away until I need to use them. I did say 6 x 100cc bottles because the 5 litre container held more than the 5000cc actually 5100cc.

Tomorrow it is mixing Perceptol to make 1 litre stock solution.

Isn't it strange we can make a small routine job which we normally do without thinking, can fill a great deal of time when you have little else to do.

Some of us on here have more cameras than strictly makes sense.
Good time to get them off the shelf and exercise those shutters perhaps?

Investigating the mystery of the DUKA 50 has loomed large on my agenda for today and will continue until we DUKA men collectively resolve it

I identify with that! But you can never have enough cameras
