I have been using Pyrocat HD for a while now and am usually pleased with the results, but I would like to move away from having a stock solution of Part B and making it up as I need. Part A is made in distilled water exactly as described by Sandy King, but as I have an almost infinite stock of Light Sodium Carbonate (Light means anhydrous) I have been using that to make up the Solution B at a ratio of 200g per 1000mls of water, then in use I am using 1:5:100.
I would like to do away with the Stock solution of Part B and just mix the SodaCarb into the distilled water used for developing. So just want to check that I have got the sums right, and would there be any issues from using this process?
So currently I am making up 200g of SodaCarb into 1000mls of water to make a Stock Solution, this means that in each ml of stock solution I would have 0.2g of SodaCarb, as I then use 5x this amount per 100mls of water to make the working strength developer, can I take it that there should then be 1g of SodaCarb to every 100mls of water in the working strength developer?
So what I would like to do is make up a working solution of developer of 800mls for my 3010 Expert Drum (when full), therefore I propose to initially make up 8g of SodaCarb into 800ml of distilled water, when completely dissolved add 8mls of Part A just prior to beginning processing.
Would this work?
TIA, Eddie.
