I just noticed, I have these weird, grey dust like particles in my d76 that I've never noticed before. (No pictures right now because it's too late at night) while I know I didn't dissolve all the powder when I mixed it and may have gotten some dirt/hair inside it, I'm wondering what it is, and how this can be avoided and if I'll have issues developing film (even though I'm about to do that now).

I'll let you know how the roll turns out.

Just run it through a paper coffee filter first...

Yep, checked to see how much chemical we had left in the jug today, and the grey particles got mixed in, So just cleaned it up my with a coffee filter, and then tossed the grey filter in the trash. The grey particles tend to be 'heavy' and collect at the bottom of the jar or what ever your storing the D76 in. Therefore we tend not shake the bottle up or drain the last bit of it out for use..
Have no idea what they are or what causes them, but it has never been a problem for me.

Glad to hear I'm not the only to have this.
