I&#8217;m wondering how people use XTOL 1:1 @ 20C. Do they chill the bottle of XTOL first or what? I had trouble with mine. I made my water a little under 20C, then poured the XTOL in, which was above 21C &#8211; to get the temperate down I had to put the measuring jug inside a bowl of cold water to try and cool the solution inside the jug. I may buy a fridge to store my XTOL &amp; fixer, so I can have them at 20C all the time.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.t52.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/assured.jpg\" alt=\"assured.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Met up with Tanya and we got some Breakfast McMuffins.
