Hi Malin,

maybe you can avoid the oxidized / blue highlights by filtering the 
solution just befor use, as I do with old ready mixed solutions, where 
some particles already were formed through aging. In most cases they are 
normal to use and I would be interested, if it works with this rusty 
solution too.
