It worked ok-ish in that I did get toning eventually; it's very slow, and if you bleach too far tone doesn't come back as it does when sepia toning. It is a totally different process, and I understand that. The color I got was nice yellow-greenish brown. What I'd really like to find is a toner (besides tea and coffee) that adds a cream color to the paper. Presently just working with RC postcard paper so extended toning and washes aren't a best choice although w/RC I assume longer washes aren't necessary anyway. I'd just hate to send out a promo and have it turn brown.. i.e. brown in a bad way!

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....
