My Diafine has dandruff...

Just mixed my very first batch of Diafine. Used distilled water at around 30°C. It was quite easy to mix up solution B, but with solution A I had a problem: as soon as I started pouring the powder into the water (while stirring), white flocks (looking kinda like dandruff) started to appear, and would not dissolve, no matter how much I stirred. Now they are sitting at the bottom of the bottle, and I have a hunch they'll still be there when I come home from work at night; I guess, Head & Shoulders won't help, either...
Anybody ever experienced the same thing?

From the Diafine instructions for use:

"In use, the solutions will become discolored and a slight precipitate may form which will in no way affect their working properties. The precipitate may be removed, if desired, by filtering."

So no worries, I'd say ;)
 
Well, whichever dandruffs are :p, I also got some precipitate on the bottom of my A solution, just like a tiny caleidoscope, just leave it sit overnight or for a couple days and they will be gone.
 
No worries. Just use opaque amber jugs instead of transparent. Problem solved. :D

PS: If a few flakes are bothering you, be sure and close your eyes when you pour in part B after a couple of hundred rolls. :cool:

HOW TRUE !!! ;)

Sometimes I even wonder if there's life inside the bottle...
 
My Diafine does the same thing... as does my Microphen and ID11. Everything works just fine.

Sometimes, late at night, I glance over to the shelf where my chemicals reside and swear I can see the cap on jug B start to sloooooowly turn all by itself. This seems to happen just as I am turning off the lights and leaving the room. All the tell-tale signs of activity are gone come daylight. The developer that Stephen King would love. :D
