I asked for a quantity and I just received part of it. I was waiting for the rest but I didn't received it too. So... I propose you to have more products in stock for the demand of them. But, you bring an excellent service.

Liquid is preferred, but powder is cheaper

That's right, Kodak Hypo Clearing Agent is a powder, but so easy to mix, and economical, too. I have come to believe it is still the product of choice for film shooters in the darkroom for a pre-wash. Use 1 part to 4 parts water. Bingo! It is a long-standing good product.

Good buy if you use TMAX

Sometimes certain films like TMAX won't clear up no matter how many hours you leave them in the fix. I discovered that HCA will remove the faint purple cast and light frosting on negatives in only a few minutes. The tint on TMAX negatives shouldn't be confused with inadequate fixing; sometimes it just comes out a little more colorful. HCA works by dissolving insoluble fixing products and is designed to speed up fixing and make the negative/paper last longer, but it also helps get the negatives crystal-clear. I also appreciate it speeding up the bottleneck in the fix bath when I'm printing.

Would be better having a liquid one like the Ilford Washaid, but can't complain!

Good reliable product.

Promotes removal of fixer from films and fiber- base papers to shorten wash times and make washing at lower wash- water temperatures practical. Dilute 1 part stock solution to 4 parts water.

Ideal when water or time is at a premium. Use to facilitate the removal of hypo (fixer) from black-and-white fiber-base papers, films, and plates.
