I use 1/100 Rodinol 10 ml per 8X10
I use one gallon gas burst or trays
It needs as little as 7 min but is fully exhausted at 20 min
Try 25 ASA but it depends on color of light
I use very dim RED LED SAFE LIGHT bounced off ceiling
I also cut it to any size
addendum
I recently read somewhere that double sided has MORE silver than normal film
BUY NOW
the end is near
Because it's double-side ;)
I’m rating Kodak S/Ra at 125 developed in pyrocat m with sodium carbonate. I have tried several brands in the past (Kodak, Agfa, Konica)of green sensitive x-ray I feel like they are all pretty much the same. Here are a couple recent ones where I tried stand development but definitely created some uneven areas.

Was the film left to stand in a vertical position?Quote:

Fair enough. Apologies for my strident post. I just really, really don’t understand why anyone would use large format x-ray film, especially double-sided x-ray film (unless of course they are using it specifically for its inherent characteristics/properties, in which case I have no argument against it).

My best results were obtained by stripping the rear emulsion using bleach. Ultimately, that was a LOT of trouble, and I stopped doing it but it did work well for pictorial use. I will do some more x-ray film in the future, such as that 14x17 film.
I also did like the glowy look of the film sometimes.
