Is there any reason to use the one over the other? I'm considering
the Liam Lawless method for makeing enlarged negatives. I think
his process may be the salvation of some thin low contrast
negatives I've waiting.

Patrick Dignan indicates either will work and I see bichromate
formulas which do use the bisulfate. Dan

Even though I use Sulfuric I do think bisulfate will work also.

Perhaps others have experience with bisulfate.

Good luck,

Don Bryant

i've only used sulfuric and it seems to work well...i had trouble locating sulfuric but in the end got it from a car battery shop, battery acid i believe is a concentration of around 35%.
