Bob, I've seen some where I had old glycin. I did not completely remove the
stain. I didn't tone those prints. If your powder is off ( dark carmel
color) ask them to replace it. They are normally quite good about that.
This is one reason that I mix my own and don't but their kits. I was lucky
enough to place my last order after a fresh batch was made.
You might try a treatment is sodium sulfite ( 20g/l) for 10 minutes but I
don't think it will help much.
