I mixed up a batch of Beutler's the other night (from scratch), everything seemed fine, it mixed with no issues and the solutions seemed fine. When I looked at it last night (after 24 hours), there was a think layer of crystals at the bottom of solution A. Does anyone know what happened?
My guess is that the solution cooled too quickly (they were in glass bottles on a cold tile floor) and crystals formed. But it was not frozen, the bottle was room temperture to the touch. Is this possible? If so, is it the metol or the sodium sulfate?
Most importantly, can it be fixed? I havent tried to mix up the solution, but assuming I can get the crystals to disolve, would the developer still work?
Thanks,
Noah
