Dispose of all photographic chemistry correctly, in line with local laws and your local authority’s guidance. Never mix waste solutions, and check the supplier’s safety data sheet before disposing of anything.

Non-hardening acid fixer for films and papers. Kodak advises keeping the developer, rinse and wash at or below 20 °C because the gelatine is not hardened.
