I'm getting (or at least trying to get) ready to start developing film in Pyrocat-HD. I'm in upstate NY and looking for a source for Pyrocatechin. I thought I'd buy it through the Photographer's Formulary, but it looks like Pyrocatechin is considered hazardous (no real surprise there, of course) for shipping purposes. Since I'm not sure what the additional charge for delivery of hazardous chemicals will come to, I figured one or more of you might know of a good place to source the stuff "locally." I'm willing to travel to Albany or Burlington to pick it up, or to Syracuse or Rochester if I have to. I live smack dab in the middle of the northern third of the Adirondacks, and Burlington would be best.
Does anyone out there know where I might get some Pyrocatechin?
My other option is to of course buy the ready-mixed stuff. I do like mixing my chemicals from scratch though (something I picked up as a kid with my first chemistry set).
TIA!
