Ok, I'll inquire, HC-110 has a LITTLE but of pyrocatechol in it, so I assume PYROCAT has a LOT of it?
What's the difference? Both are neuro-toxins correct? I'm trying to educate myself. If I'm wrong and asking, try not to bash me, just want to be well informed.
Thanks.
Just because they designed it to be used a certain way doesn't mean you have to do so.
unless of course you use non RS in a rotary processor with sheet film
then chances are you will be outtaluck.
i use things other than what they were designed for all the time,
unless i dont want the suggested contraindication.
seeing stone is processing sheet film , why suggest he use a developer well known
and documented to cause dichroic fog ( even by koduck)?
when the good folks at kodak told me to use it ( non rs ) it was a mistake, and after the fog was there
they said, " why did you use that version of tmax developer, it causes dichroic fog"
What happens when I try and mix powders... This is why I don't like them...

Was trying to make a Tech Pan developer...
Ugh... Well, we'll see how it comes out...
Why then send chemicals in baggies is beyond me, stupidest thing I've ever seen...
That's Phenidone by the way...
Yeah, that's the one.
looks like something a 99 cent funnel would have prevented.
And, nobody says you have to scratch mix powders anyway. Try some ID-11/D-76. Easy as pie.
What is this thread about?
Yeah I'd recommend not doing that with Pyro. Catechol is pretty nasty too because of its vapour pressure. You can smell it everywhere.
But really, this looks more like working too fast and not being careful rather than an inherent problem with powders. So I'm not buying this.
Slow down and be careful. Read some good sources on chemical mixing, and the specific MSDS and precautions to take when handling/working with certain particularly nasty compounds (strong acids/bases, PPD, Pyro, Catechol) and you'll be fine. And in most cases you can avoid those compounds anyway. I've used the little bags from Formulary from time to time. They're not ideal but I haven't had any serious problems.

you mean beaker?
I know this is subjective, but looking for new developer options.
I don't know why this thread has over 200 submissions...
Stone likes DD-X, so he should use DD-X. He'll never understand the effect rotary processing has on his negatives until he can compare it to results he received prior to the change to rotary . All too often, he posts about changing multiple variables at once. To understand any changes, they must be made one at a time, and the testing time put in to accurately identify the changes.

I did compare them to the results I had prior to going Rotary, and they were different, the edges were very soft as it was too hard and sharp...
Why don't you just get some trays then? You can do stand that way.
