Right Dick. The stain factor goes way overboard. The idea is to give it
just enough vitamin C to bring the oxidation back in line with that which
you'd get with tray development. In the Jobo the stuff exhausts itself. I
think XTOL is nothing more than an MQ or PQ developer doped with Vitamin C
to cut the aerial oxidation factor. I'm gonna give it a go tommorrow in
fake Jobo. We could use rose hips instead, and make it big with the
back-to-nature crowd. The Gypsy Boots Mega Developer.
