I can't remember where I got it but I have this formula for stabiliser that I think is the correct one - perhaps I got it from Moersch? --

Water 750ml
Ammonium thiocyanate 200g
Sodium metabisulfite 70g
Acetic acid (5%) 340ml (I can't find the 28% figure but it's easy enough to work out)
Water to 1000ml

Dilute 1:4 for use

The activator is just a Sodium or Potassium hydroxide solution, & I don't believe the sulfite is essential
you could experiment with anything between 50g/1000ml and 100g/1000ml of hydroxide I expect

Looks like data pulled from assorted MSDS sheets - You may well find the "formulas" missing key ingredients.
