richard_urmonas Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 A few months back I bought a second hand Jobob machine.The plastic bottle used for fixer has a crystaline depositover part of the inside. I have tried soaking it in water(for weeks), and scrubbing it with a bottle brush and soapywater. It does not seem to budge. Does anyone know what I coulduse to remove this residue?

nicholas_t. Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 HE-1, Kodak Hypo Eliminator is the recommended formula (not to be used on prints)<p>Water 500 ml<br>Hydrogen Peroxide (3% solution) 125.0 ml<br>Ammonia (3% solution) 100.0 ml<br>Water to make 1.0 litre<p> Good luck.

ole_tjugen Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 If the deposit looks like off-white powder, it could be sulphur. Happens when "dead" fixer is left for a long time... If so, try a 20% solution of Sodium sulphite, AKA Kodak HCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_urmonas Posted July 1, 2003 Author Share Posted July 1, 2003 The residue is an off white colour. I tried the HE-1 on it last night (outside of course). Left it going overnight, but it is winter here so things go slowly. Checking this morning the residue seems "thinner" but it may take more time or a few batches of HE-1 to completely remove it. Thank you to all for the assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
