Re: [Digital BW] MIS is selling the generic clear bases now

Well, I used a clean mason jar and teflon bar on a magnetic stirrer to mix
up my batch, along with lab grade glycerol.  I used clean disposable
syringes to measures and add the inks.  This system is not closed, though,
and stuff in the air can get into it.  My photoflow was stored in my
basement darkroom, which can be a little damp, and so maybe this was the
problem.  I know that diluted photoflow solutions turn bad fairly soon in
my darkroom.

I still have the base:

I don't know if the mold grew in the cartridges, but I can't risk it, and I
probably shouldn't use the cartridges again, sigh.
