Using a syringe to keep liquid developers longer?

[Nige]

I bought some 1L (I think) 'wine' bladders to use for Xtol but haven't gotten around to trying them. I've been using 1L glass jars (fruit juice) which I fill to the brim. About to mix up another batch of Xtol so maybe I'll find where they are and give one a test run (fill, leave for 6-12mths). I'll report back in 12mths if I remember

There are reusable silicon mother's breast milk/formula baby bottles, as well as disposable sacks for baby bottles, which use a soft silicon nipple, in various flows, including slow for smaller babies, in four oz and large sizes, that might work for both storage and dispensing chemistry, by sealing the factory release hole and then using needles to withdraw material, as needed and in self-sealing fashion, without air filling the bladder.

Amazon carries these, under the Playtex brand.

What ever happened to the method of replacing liquid with marbles?

Unfortunately........ I lost my marbles.

Dear sweet cheesus... at first glance I thought that was a feminine hygiene bag.

This looks like a good solution, so long as you squeeze out the air and the small hose will pass heavier developer syrups, with just a little squeeze of the sack.

If anyone tries these, please let us know how it works out.

Cheers and Godspeed to All Here and Your Loved Ones!

Hmm. Seems less convenient than a common wine bladder in its box...

I use a wine saver pump with a vacuum stopper. Works great.

Agreed. I've got four 5L Astrapaq wine bags with boxes being delivered today. I can't wait to get the stuff mixed. They're going to make things so much easier to store and dispense.
