Hi Ian,
	I've never added Thymol to eosin. But then a batch only lasts us a
couple of weeks so it's never been a problem.

Just Curious. Was making up a batch of eosin this morning and as I added
the crystal of thymol to prevent growth of bugs etc. (well, that was what I
was taught  when I was a boy so I've always done it that way) I wondered,
does anybody else do this or am I a lone voice in the wilderness.
Ian.
