    Kodak Polymax fixer precipitation - working solution for film

    Hello.

    I've mixed few days ago Polymax fixer to 1+3 solution and close with no air in glass bottles. Kept in dark in about 21 C degrees. Today I saw that on the bottom is precipitated white fluid, and all the rest is quiet transparent . When I shaked bottle all was very easy mixed...

    I never used polymax before, so question is : is it OK ?

    Thank you for any help !

    Just test it with a strip of exposed film and see if it's good. It can keep for a week diluted like that.

    I've used quite old diluted Polymax fixer with that precipitate and have noticed no problems, even on prints fixed years ago. Perhaps someone with expert knowledge can provide better information.
