What is in my copychrome bath

Posted by admin on December 29th, 2009 at 07:27am

I haven’t opened my CC bath in probably 6 months, opened it up this evening and found a bunch of something floating in the bath, the bath was sealed well. I stirred the bath up to see what would happen, in the process of stirring I felt something in the bottom of the bath, I fished out a piece of 12 awg copper about 9" long, obviously I must have dropped it in there. My questions are, what is the floating stuff and what can I do about it? Should I filter the bath and then add more brightener? I don’t remember if I should filter through coffee filters or a carbon filter.

How will the copper wire affect the bath, it’s been in there a good six months. Below is some pics of the stuff floating, you can see in the first pic there is a good amount of it floating on the surface, the second pic is of some of the stuff I spooned off the top.
