Reuse TMAX Developer?


I have recently begun to develop my own B&W film and I'm having a blast with it. I've developed 3 rolls according to instructions found on this site and they've all come out really nicely.

My question is this:

According to Kodak you can re-use mixed TMAX developer if you compensate the development time. How much do you compensate, and would you experienced darkroom folks recommend reusing or not?

  I think it's up to Kodak to tell you how much to adjust your development time. If you experiment, be sure to do it with shots that aren't important. I wouldn't do this in conjunction with pull-processing, as your development could end up too weak. I wouldn't leave this dilute stuff sitting around too long.
