Provocative comment, Bob. After years of
Dektol-centricity myself, I have been experimenting
w/other devs because the powder mixing procedure is
beginning to feel like an additional chore, and I know
it's probly the most unhealthy thing I do in the darkroom!
I'm interested to know why you think Dektol provides "true
permanence" where other devs might not?
Thanks for elaborating.

I am also curious, I can't remember every seeing
anything in the literature about the developer affecting
permanence.
A trick for mixing powder chemicals is to cut a large
diagonal spout in the corner of the bag and hold it just
below the surface of the water while pouring out the powder.
This prevents dust from escaping. If you want to be thorough
wear a dust mask, goggles, and nitrile gloves. Its also
probably a good idea to wear a plastic apron. There isn't
much danger from packaged developer and fixer but these are
standard precautions. Mixing some chemicals, fixer for
example, can cause some irritating gasses to be evolved so
good ventillation is necessary.
