[Darkroom] who wants to do some E-6?

[Jasmine Strong]

Oh, and never use glass containers to store colour chemistry.  They are strongly basic and will attack most glass with the exception of very high grade Pyrex.  Which only comes in clear.  Also never use clear bottles as light will degrade CD4.

I recommend the "Datatainer" brown plastic jugs you can get from photo supply stores.  Also inert the inside of these with the canned air.  Works a treat.  Oxygen is your enemy.
