XTOL Mistake: Part B before Part A

[Roger2000]

Hello all,

Rather foolishly, I have accidentally poured a small amount of part b into my first 4 litres of water, before adding part a and then the rest of part b.

Do you think I can use the chemicals or will it give poor results and essentially ruin the film?

Thank you!

Should be fine, just add all of Part A now stir until dissolved then add the rest of Part B and make up to 5 litres.

I have been using XTOL forever. I think it will be fine

It may affect how easy it is to dissolve Part A. Please report back .

It should be alright if you continue adding part A, mixing in completely and then adding part B and fully mixing. You may have more trouble getting part A to completely mix. Please report back.

Thanks all - I mixed it as normal once I realised my mistake and the negative came out fine.
