Shelf Life of Kodak FR and Replinisher

[Tom Taylor]

Anyone have an idea of the shelf life of unopened Kodak Flexicolor Final Rinse and Replinisher (CAT 867 3170)? I purchased two bottles to make 5 Liters each from a camera store yesterday and noticed "VAL: 2009-09" printed in white on the label when i returned home. I went back to the store this afternoon but all the remaining bottles have the same date. Do you think this product is still good?

Thanks,

Thomas

Thomas;

The C-41 final rinse will keep virtually forever until it starts to grow things in it such as mold and bacteria. At that point, when you see floaters, throw it out.

Thanks PE!

I'm going to buy the rest of the bottles from them this week as they are priced right!
