    There used to be a rapid fixer that came in a box with a bag inside that held the fixer and a nozzle for extracting (sprint maybe? mine had no labels from a dentist office). As you used up the fixer it would collapse the bag with almost no air. I had a 1/2 gallon that was still good after 10 years of no activity. Its all in how you store them and the working mix always seems to exceed recommended capacity.
    The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

    You’re probably thinking of Sprint: Click image for larger version.

    Their fixer is great and they also make the best stop bath in the business (not that stop bath is anything to be pondered over but just saying).
