Re: sensitiser problem was " "

Hi Scott,

I had a similar problem with Potted Dich. Same circumstances (brown
bottle etc..). My sensitiser became almost useless and a very dark
browny colour. I think in my case it was the heat of the summer causing
decomposition not light. Mixed some new and 'voila' no further problems.

Regards
