Ordorless Fixer - Ordorless ?

[John Whitley]

FWIW, I've been using the Silvergrain neutral pH fixer ("Clearfix"), which seems relatively low odor. Anyone had a chance to compare the odor levels of Clearfix to the Clayton odorless fixer?

The secret is to use Citric Acid instead of Acetic Acid. You can also add it to TF-3. I mix up TF-3 and simply add a few grams of Citric Acid to it. It is not completely odorless, especially in a warmer darkroom, but it is a tremendous improvement over using Acetic Acid. You can still use a water stop bath or you can add a little Citric acid to the water to make the stop bath as acidic as you want. Citric Acid will work fine with Pyrocat HD. It has a pleasant aroma and is used in many foods.

Thanks - If I need a stop bath, I will definitely consider Citric Acid. Plain water does just fine for now.

TF-4 stinks compared to OF-1.

I use the Clayton Archival fixer, it is very low oder (at least to my nose) and is priced right.

I'm just not getting these abstruse references.

Ole, I can't tell if you are joking.

That's true!

What is OF-1 ?

Toyon,

Thanks! You made me chuckle a bit at that one!
