I studied the pyro instructions and what is required to work with it.
I have a "wet/dry" darkroom where I print and develop paper. I do the
"wet" stuff for developing film and washing prints in a small bathroom
using the bathtub for pouring, rinsing and fixing film in stainless
steel tanks. There's no room for working safely or comfortably with
pyro. But thanks for the recommendation and information.
Les,
In the old days, guys developed in trays for years with their bare hands
in the Pyro for hours at a time. Just don't inhale the powder when
mixing the stock solution (you can mix it outside if you want). Using
tanks for developing there is no need for bare hands to come in contact
with the developer. Just pour it down the tub drain when you are through
with a little water running from the faucet. Wear a nitrile glove if you
want to but don't not use Pyro because you are afraid of it. It is a
great developer.
