Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner

[Bill Kumpf]

Does KRST have a shelf life? What are the signs that it is no good?

I was given a bottle that may be several years old. Some items in this deal was dated 1968.

I also normally use PF ‘s TF-4 fixer. Is there any surprises there?

Thanks

Bill,

I use PF's TF-4 fixer and then KRST with no surprises. As far as a shelf life I don't have any experience with that. Mine is four years old.

Bill, it will probably be just fine. My first bottle lasted twenty years with no ill effects.

Shows you how much I like to tone. Booooring!

Same here....

Remember to wear rubber gloves when dipping your fingers in this stuff, it is very toxic.

Thanks, everyone.

It worked. I was trying to save some snow scene prints that I printed on the wrong paper. The KRST did add a little to the blacks.

The first prints I made of that negative were on some old Agfa paper. It had black blacks and white whites. I will order same Adox MCC 110 from Freestyle.

Bruce – You are right, I worry too much. The MPK worked fine. The black sheen on the surface had no effect. Thanks again.
