Correct... not all sites show a difference.
 
I think the FSA or thiourea dioxide toner is more for a special effect. Since 
you read about it in Tim's book, did you get the result you were after, even 
though it was slow in working?
I suspect you didn't, in which case you might need to spring for it, if that is 
really a look you are after....

I looked it up myself and found these for t. dioxide with the 2 different CAS 
#'s:
http://www.lookchem.com/cas-418/4189-44-0.html
http://www.thiourea-dioxide-fas.com/   <--CAS# 1758-73-2


This is what I found for my thiourea:

I won't pretend I know anything about what's on those pages as I'm just looking 
for the practical application of the compound with this toner.  
I used my thiourea anyway as I was in a testing mode yesterday and did get 
toning, albeit very slowly, of the prints I had bleached with the 
ferricyanide/pot. bromide combo.  That may be my "practical" answer right 
there, but since I work w/chemicals w/o getting into molecular structures and 
formulas, I'm hoping someone who does might know the answer if it's 'worth' 
looking into getting the t. dioxide or not.

Sources I looked at gave different yet presumably equvilant structures for 
those two cas #s
 
Thiourea is different.
 
???
Thiourea sulfoxide?
 
Did you mean thiourea dioxide rather than sulfoxide?
(Can you supply the CAS # for that?)

Hello,

    CAS 4189-44-0 and 1758-73-2 are both for thiourea dioxide under different 
names. CAS 62-56-6 is for thiourea.
Several years ago I tried toning with thiourea sulfoxide following Tim book and 
it worked very well.

I'm working from Tim Rudman's toning book and am playing with the FSA toner.
In it he lists thiourea dioxide to be used in the toning bath.  Now I have 
thiourea that comes from TechChem down in Missouri and called them to see what 
flavor of thiourea I have.  Bob called back and he found something odd in the 
CAS listings.
TechChem's thiourea is CAS# 62-56-6
Thiourea dioxide has TWO CAS #'s which he says is "unheard of".
CAS# 4189-44-0 and CAS# 1758-73-2
Since Tim has been known to hang around these parts and others here may be more 
familiar with the CAS catalog system, I'm wondering if these 3 compounds are 
interchangeable or what?


Thanks


Eric
