Discovered by Accident
here's something I discovered completely by accident.
I last processed E6 about 2-3 months ago and had half a Tetenal kit left over and put it away in my storage cupboard and then promptly forgot about it. I went to tidy it up today and found this forgotten partially used E6 kit. I naturally thought that it would have well and truly 'gone off', but I checked the contents anyway and found that I had both squeezed the air out of the 1st developer and put the bottle in the box but upside down. This developer was as good as the day I first opened it with no discolouration. Whats more the bottle had remained 'squeezed' whereas before when I had excluded the air I always found that air managed to get into the bottle if left upright. The downside is I have lost the instructions and cannot remember the developing/times and bleach fixing times - can anyone help please? I know the temperatures and the rinse times. |

John I have the John Tinsley book on rotary processing which I am sure mentions both the Tetenal E6 three bath and six bath process. However this is a 1992 book and things may have changed since then.
If no-one comes up with the info tomorrow I'll check the book and give the process instructions and timings. The caveat being that I will be repeating a 21 year old process with no experience of having used it. Mike |

Glad the link now works. If it is any consolation I have just checked the Tinsley times against the link and they are the same so nothing has changed.
