How long will HC-110 last?

[David_Manning]

Just a quick question...dilution B of HC-110 in "working solution" (ready to go in the developing tank). How long will it last in a brown bottle?

Dilution? Weeks, at the very best - HC110 is best used one-shot. The concentrate lasts for years.

The raw concentrate lasts for years - probably second only to Rodinal in that regard. The working solution not so much, I wouldn't depend on that lasting more than a few weeks.

According to Kodak, B will last 3 month if the bottle is full and the solution unused or 1 month if the bottle is half full or in a tank with floating lid (at room temperature).

^^^Yes, all great and learned advice up above...here's my spin...let it sit for a year and then develop and roll or two of "Once-in-a-Liftime" shots...if they turn out great if they don't then you could conclude that it's less than a year...
Sorry for that...I've been developing film today...almost done...
