Mrred, not sure what you are talking about.
Guys;
Without reading all of this, why not use something that has been done before with good results?

Try 1:1 or 1:2. I don't use much less than this with Dektol which should have the same activity level. Even then it's at the suggested time of 12. Time is less critical than when developing negatives as the density is much greater. With D-19 I had to use 1:1 which was why I stopped using it; it got much more expensive than Dektol.
try jumping up more in times. I would use increments of 10. When you get fog, try backing off half way from the last point. If that is good, bump it forward half way....and so on.
You should get the similar results with PQ. It looks like you are just using a strong enough dilution. In theory you should be able to use any developer. Getting it to work well or with a reasonable cost is another story.
Have you finally tried it ?It called the Foma Reversal kit. It's the one I am using and the developer in it is not energetic enough for Tri-X.
Have you finally tried it ?
The Formulary sells a reversal kit modeled on the Kodak one. It is 01-0600. Should work with most any film.

Yes I tried the Dokumol direction last weekend. I used 1+9 dilution, first without KSCN and then with 5g/L of KSCN. The results are awesome, the contrast is very high, the blacks are beautiful. The KSCN helped to clear the highlights without touching (surprisingly!) the shadows, so it increased contrast a little, which I didn't really expect...So the density is great and the film pretty bright. I can take a photo of how the film looks this weekend, if you want. I'll definitely stick with Dokumol and play with dilutions (dilute more) and use of KSCN.Have you thought about trying the Dokumol direction? I'm not clear what the economic cost of that one would be...
