Hi Jim;
         i use it all the time with all my B&WW films, TP included.  Works 
great.  I usually go just oen shot developing as it is anyhow.  I may reuse 
fixer overt he course of a day, but I find with all B&W chemistry the best 
results are not to use or keep beyond a 24 hour period, regardless of 
brand, type, etc, or even if the manufactuer says you can reuse it more 
than once.  I just find great consistancy with one shot processing.
         anyhow, it will work great.  Strong stuff too, I advise going for 
a weaker solutiona and a slightly longer fixing time when you first use it too.
