I have a bottle of HC-110 syrup that has been sitting on my shelf for a couple of years. I noticed that there is some discoloration inside the bottle toward the top:
Is this stuff still good to use? Or should I ditch it?

It's probably still good to use. My HC 110 gets discolored over time, but still works.

My HC110 has lasted halfway to forever. That stuff looks just fine.
Have you tried developing anything?

All good. Just use and enjoy the results. That looks normal to me.

is not a question relating to the topic of the thread, but anyone knows the development time of panf+ in hc110 dil B? I've tried the time from massive development chart (4 min) and the negative was undiuntely underdeveloped.

Sadly, not a good idea with HC-110, since bubbles in the thick syrup cause inaccurate measurement.

plus you dont want any of that oxidised crystal stuff lodging on the film surface. I use a syringe to get mine from the bottle.

To have maximum profit of the span life of HC-110 you can refilling to smaller glass bottle and use a syringe to dilute directly from the concentrate. In this way 4-5 years old HC-110 is even not any problem.
