Hi all,
The last time I did darkroom work was in college, years ago, and I never gave any thought to chemical safety or even what kinds we were using.* I'm looking for a simple, safe, and foolproof set of chemistry to stop and fix x-ray film. I'm limiting myself to liquid concentrates - I'm not good with powders. (Spill, inhale, and clump!)
Skimming through my old texts** and poking around online, it seems like I could use a water stop, or kitchen vinegar, but I understand there are pros and cons. How do they compare to things like Ilfostop? Also, how do you like Ilford Rapid Fixer?
I'll be doing tray development of 5x7 or 8x10, and contact prints on whatever is cheap.
Will
*I still have my notes, and I know we were using D76, and at what dilutions & times, but those films don't exist anymore, so...
**gave away my Strobel & my Ilford Darkroom books, darn it.
