RE: vandyke solution- green flakes precipitated
David, I use a double coffee filter to remove the flakes. Scott B.

I have not seen this before and don't remember reading anywhere about flakes. I'm guessing that it must be some iron precipitating out of the solution? The solution was made in November 2007 and has been kept wrapped in black bag in the darkroom. It has not been refrigerated but the room never gets much above 70 degrees. david david drake photography www.daviddrakephotography.com
