Perhaps you can find Neutol Plus. This is a liquid
concentrate Phenidone-Ascorbic acid print developer. I've
been using it and recommend it. Use the higher dilution, it
works fine.
As far as packaging chemicals, I don't know what Kodak
does so that it can combine all the ingredients of Metol
containing developers into one package but they do
something. Normally Metol will not dissolve in high
concentrations of sulfite so it must be mixed first. This is
one reason many developers come in two parts.
Have you considered doing the chemical measuring in a box
or tent of some sort? This would contain any dust and make
cleaning much simpler.
