Hi Mark,

     I don't recommend this, but recently, I found some Dupont 53-D paper
developer, that I had mixed up and stored in a fully stoppered container,
TWO YEARS ago.  It's still good!  Plus the 53-D was old, canned powder to
begin with, that I found second-hand for cheap.  OTOH, some Kodak Kodabromide
F-4 paper, unopened, had turned to hopeless grey.
