Dear forum members, first some background story. Due to continued increase of taxes for imported goods I decided to become autonomous and to start mixing Paper Developers at home. I've got the Darkroom Cookbook and chemicals (hydroquinone is still on it's way). Now I lack a technic to mix the chemistry. I either will do
a) will warm water at home, use respirator and mix chemicals one by one right in to the water,
b) will go to some other place with good ventilation and mix everything in one portion, then bring it home and dilute.
The question is if it's possible to dilute everything at once? Our domestic seller often divide chemistry in two parts. I really want to know by what principle.
The recipe for start is
FORMULA #72 W130B
Water at 125/52C, 750.0ml
Metol,2.2g
Sodium sulfite, anhydrous, 50.0g
Hydroquinone, 11.0 g
Sodium carbonate, monohydrate, 78.0g
Benzotriazole, 0.2 g
Glycin, 11.0g
Water to make 1.0 liter
Any general advice how to make mixing in comfortable manner or where to read about it is welcome.
