Okay,

I got a single use Kodak E6 kit and set it aside for a while.

When I finally opened it I noticed that the final rinse bottle had leaked.

Minor issue of loose cap.

So now it's way to late to call Adorama and ask them to replace the bottle and I'd like to do some processing this weekend.

Will Photo Flo or Dawn or ... work?

You need a fungicide to help. Photo Flo 200 mixed as directed with 3 ml / l of 37% formalin will do the same thing. Never ever use dishwasher fluid on film due to the dyes and fragrances not to mention the hand oils present.

Thanks PE

I wasn't being serious about Dawn, just venting in desperation.

Response from Helen Oster at Adorama Camera


I appreciate it will be a little late for this application, but contact me directly with your order number, and we'll get a replacement botle out to you.

Apologies for the inconvenience that this has caused - I hope you were able to find an alternative solution.

Sincerely

Helen,

I must say hat's off to you and Adorama!

Sent you the info a moment ago.

Also must say it was great to be able to look that # up on your website.

Kudos
