diafine storage

[jano]

Does diafine, once mixed up, need to be stored in light-tight containers like some of the other developers?

Thanks,

I've had mine in clear bottles for about 1/2 year now. No problems. Looks really icky tho

I always have. But I don't know why?

It is just that I have always had some one-gallon brown jugs around so I used'em.

My neighbor spray painted some clorox jugs and that is what he uses. but he uses other developers too, not just Diafine.

In all the years I have used Diafine, this question never really came up. Most everyone I knew that used it were photographers anyway and had brown jugs around.
