Ilford Hypam and Ilford Rapid.
Is it possible to mix these two fixers together.?
I have switched to Hypam and have a little Rapid remaining. It is just a few ounces. I can dump it with no regrets.
Thank You

How many ounces in "a few"?
Once diluted to working strength, is it enough to fill your film developing tank? If so, prepare a bottle of working strength film fixer from that, calculate how many rolls it is suitable for and then use (and re-use) it for that many rolls.
 
It should be fine unless you intend to use a hardener. IIRC, Hypam is designed for use with an optional hardener and Rapid Fix isn't.. that might be the wrong way around though....
