Who knows maybe it might work as a stop bath depending on the pH balance.

I'm sure you mean as stop for haulting development, as I doubt theres anything in urine that would convert the silvers or "Fix" the image chemically.

Is'nt funny how off-track we can make these threads?

Naw cuz you could reuse those, and they feel too much like the other chemical bottles that you might accidently utilize them in development...\

I made my sink too high for that, I'd have to use a stepstool.

Sure beats leaning over.

I had a photog that worked for me at a newspaper 30 years ago. He used a graduate and then poured it down the drain. Most he could get was 24 ounces.

Graduate = measuring beaker. Thanks. Quite the image.
