Borax granular vs 20 Mule Team

A few years ago someone contacted the United States Borax Co, the maker of 20 Mule Team Borax. It is chemically pure, at least enough for photographic purposes and is granulated. It should work in any photo formula calling for Borax. Red Devil Lye is another "grocery store" product (although I haven't seen it recently) that is pure enough for photo use where sodium hydroxide is called for. One can make the equivalent of Kodalk (sodium metaborate) by combining the hydroxide and Borax in solution in the right proportions. as per lye - http://candleandsoap.about.com/od/co...lyesources.htm |
