Glycin is hard to get. Don't be discouraged if you get stale Glycin (off-color, gray or brown powder. It should be white or *light* gray.) Just make sure in advance that your supplier will take it back and refund your money if the Glycin is not fresh or is actually not Glycin (another potential problem!) Also worthy of note, there are two unrelated chemicals labeled as glycin. One is a highly solvent developing agent; the other is a food additive, and completely useless in the darkroom. Be sure you're getting the one sold for photography... -- I may be a scwewy wabbit, but I'm not going to Alcatwaz! -- E. J.

Where does one find this chemical, as well as other photo chemicals? I only
remember seeing one place on the interenet, and after shipping, etc, it was not worth the bother. Are there any local places in southern California? thanks.... |

Are there any local places in southern California? Kodak used to package it into 1lb cans. At least I think I remember that-) On Ebay a seller named Surebet2 often has a deal on 1lb of metol and one of hydroquine but you'll have to add in shipping. He also sells off Ebay. http://www.colba.net/~fotochem/ Nick |

Ah, però! Nick Zentena ha scritto due cosette forse interessanti...
Many of the expensive things you only need a little of. 500 grams of Metol will make over 60 litres of stock D-23. That's a fair bit of film. So you might want to consider mail order. Or if you know somebody flying over ask them to stick a package in the luggage-) Nick I've tryed also a typographic developing solution for typographic laser sheets... seems to be an high contrast high speed developer but is not esasy to find in affordable price wow... i'm developing with everything... -- Non è bello cio che è bello figuriamoci cio che è brutto! |
