Fix and Hypo -clear still good?

[Jeff Kubach]

How long does fix and hypo-clear stay good once mix and it is bottle up. I have some for about 6 months, should I get rid of it?

If totally clear, and with no rotten egg odor, and unused, then it is still OK.

The hypo clear should feel very soapy. If you are using hypo clear always use a residual hypo check, the hypo clear can go off quickly and give no warning.

If the fix hasn't thrown any yellow precipitate and still smells 'sharp' it is probably OK.
