Part A | ||
Water (45C) | 700 | ml |
Metol | 2 | g |
Sodium Sulfite (anhydrous) | 50 | g |
Hydroquinone | 20 | g |
Sodium Hydroxide | 10 | g |
Potassium Bromide | 2 | g |
Part B | ||
Water (25C) | 300 | ml |
Chrome Alum (optional) | 20 | g |
Sodium Thiosulfate 70g |
Mixing Instructions: Add chemicals in specified sequence. Always use cold water when mixing potassium or sodium hydroxide due to risk of heat reaction. In this case reduce the original amount of hot water to 600ml and add the Sodium Hydroxide to 100ml of cold water prior to adding to Part A. |
Dilution: Mix both solutions together to make 1000ml just before use. |
Usage: Starting point dev time: 5-7 mins (86F/30C) |
Notes This is a monobath formula so no fixing is required. Chrome Alum is not required with modern emulsions. As with any monobath formula results can vary greatly depending on film type and there is a risk of fog/staining so you are advised to run a test roll before processing any important negatives. |
