Default Help for D-85 LITH Developer and FX-37 developer.

I've formulated 2.5 liters of two solutions D-85 (kodak lith developer). I
don't find Paraformaldehyde and i've replaced it with around 200ml of
acetone (82.5 mm x 2.5) but the solution DON'T WORK!

For a test, i've mixed 4 parts of solution A with 1 part of solution B (no
water) and i've make a strip test with 2 min, 4 min, 6 min, 8 min and 10
min. exposure time. I've immersed the strip into solution and after *10*
minutes the strip test was always white (no halo, no shadows)

How can be happened?

Sorry, have patience, a second question:

What is life time of FX-37? My formulation have now 4 mounths.

thanks to all and sorry for my english!

Why would you think acetone would substitute for paraformaldehyde?
Why not just buy Kodak Litho Developer?

Try stores/companies that sell to printers, as in printing newspapers,
printing menus, printing business forms .... these stores will all carry
lith developer - many photo stores don't (heck, many photo stores
around here don't even carry Dektol).

When i can do it, i prefer to mix my chem manually. With this procedure i
can have mach more control to process, and i can modify it ever needs.
i have buyed too chemicals by now that i use when possible. ;-)

If the original formula is with parafolmadehyde, then of course it doesn't
work without it.
