I'm afraid, we are contributing to the market being unstable this way. For
example, Peter just dropped out as a chemical customer for the next 10
years! Also, in a few years he runs the danger of all his chemicals not
being any good anymore, or nobody remembers or has any experience with the
chemicals he is using. This might suit his image making, but he is also
running the danger of alienating himself from forums like this.
I will follow a different approach:
1. I'll buy chemicals when needed in reasonable quantities.
2. I try to be flexible with chemicals, film and paper.
3. I will not reward a company leaving the market by stocking up on their
products.
