The solubility of sodium carbonate (anhydrous) is about 150 g/l @ 20 C. The solubility of the monohydrate would only be slightly higher. Since the formula calls for 30 g/l it would therefore be impossible to prepare a 8X concentrate of this developer.

I finally adjusted the water to end up with a concentrate to use at 1:4. Everything went fine then. any tricks to this? Temperature issues? I like the results I've gotten but have only used it on some quick RC shots in one darkroom session. I'm also testing my posting to pure-silver and willuse this message to see if I've got the procedure down. ================================================================================ ============================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there. ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
