[HUG ] Re: HI TO ALL

Many formulas are in use not so much because of their wonderfulness in image
making but because of their ability to stay clear and clean not going brown
or beige in a glass bottle after a few weeks. People tend to not not like
their developers going dark on them makes then think they'll get funny
results form them which tends to be true but not always if you get into the
use of more esoteric non Metal hydroquinone formulas.

The adding of Glycin to a formula I'm not sure how well it would help it
stay clear maybe it does. My experience has not been in keeping a chemical
mixed like that in a thing.
But mixing up right before use.
I'd recommend my way. But then I'm me. But then I tend to get my techniques
from people who know what they're doing for the mostly part.

Glycin is pricy but long acting so not non economical well worth it
especially if your doing a run.
And as a higher priced spread is more economical than Amidol.


If I'm running multiple sheets at a time leafing through them in a larger
tray I'm going to run them more for a couple of minutes more like five for
uniformity. In those cases I'll put some Glycin in the tray and call it 130.
And get a nicer result for my effort. Cleaning working maybe.

I think I got this from how Ansel would print some of his portfolios.

I'm a chemist guy in the darkroom sense. A real chemist guy I'm sure would
fine my doings laughable. As I had an assistant once or was. Be he found me
doings bearable.
