Finally Got my Ducks in a row - starting RA4 printing

[EdSawyer]

working solutions will keep for months if well sealed. And even if not well sealed... I've been using some mixed RA-4 RA-RT chemistry from Kodak since last November, in Doran floating-lid tanks, and it's still fine.

Never had Kodak RA-4 working solutions go bad. I don't print often but as they seem to keep well for more than a year, this is not a problem.

Tetenal RA-4 blix can go bad in hours or days even if it seems to work when mixed.

Same experience here, but with de Fuji RA4 chems.
I mixe my working solution in September/October and discard it in April/May the next year.

Hoffy, how is this going?
I'm wondering where you got your chems from. Was it Vanbar?
