Response to Xtol update... dreaded Xtol failures

Michael, I think i may have found the problem. Kodak used to say that 100 ML of stock solution was the minimum needed to use xtol in any dilution, i.e, 100ml xtol:100 ml H2O or 100ml xtol:300ml H20. I think that kodak was in error there. I think you need at least 150-200ml of xtol stock in any dilution. Ilford films seem to work ok with the weaker mix, but tmax 100 must have 150-200ml.
