Regarding the formula in The Darkroom Cookbook, it
says that the solution should be diluted 1:9 for use.
I give the formula for this stock solution from
Anchell's book below. (Formula #190 in the 2nd
edition):

Water (125 degrees F)        750 ml
Sodium Sulfite               200 grams
Sodium bisulfite              50 grams
Water to make                  1 liter

So by diluting this 1:9, one would end up with the 2%
solution mentioned in Richard's post.
