Yup. I once threw away 5L of very expensive Photoflo 600 (enough to make 3,000L 
of bubbly water). Photoflo smears unless used at a much lower dilution than 
recommended. But my 5L had been exposed to low temps, and was full of 
crystalline crud. To be fair to Kodak, ISTR the label did warn not to store at 
<50degF.

Ilfotol has none of these idiosyncrasies, and is what I have used ever since.
