    How to fix a solargraph

    I tried this in developing trays - 240ml water, 6g carbonate, 16g bicarbonate - and it worked. For the second one the developer was already pretty muddy and the curl from being in a 440ml beer can for a year didn’t help. So, there are developer artefacts in the corners where I didn’t get the...

    Rockland Colloid - Should I bother?

    Kodak Hardening Fixer hard to find. Alternatives?

    I’ve struggled to find anywhere with stock of Kodak Sodium Hardening Fixer Powder 3.8L. The two stockists I found online both cancelled the order, and their web does then reverted to “out of stock” so it seems no one has it. Why is it so elusive? What alternatives are there? I’m wanting it for...
