Just developed my first roll of B&W in many years. Do people reuse stop and fixer? I made up 1L of each and put into glass bottles, then realised that I probably won't need that much. The guide I was using said to reuse so I've put the "used" stop and fixer back in the diluted bottles.
Reuse stop, you get stuff that indicates when it's exhausted.
For fixer do a clearing test, drop a small clipping of unused film into the fixer and time how long it takes to "clear" I.e. become transparent. It becomes less effective over time and per batch.
Also use the smallest bottles you can to reduce oxidisation (we had these concertina plastic bottles that you could reduce the volume of, not sure if they're still a thing.)
