Hey, this is some of the finest Dark that money can buy. You've heard of legendary quality of Leitz? Well this is Darkz.

It was collected near NYC so it contains the exact proper combination of smog, toxic fumes and particulate matter to give it that distinctive "Springtime in Secaucus New Jersey" character, but this is rated "Photo Grade A"
Well, that's different. I lived in NYC for a while during WWII. Now that is genuine dark. A little bit of that would clog up a 60 watt bulb in a hyrry.

A few years back I worked in the same building as a physics lab - they had analytical grade dark. If you asked nicely they'd let you have a some - that was luxury.

Now I have to make my own dark, and it's pretty low quality. My food grade dark seems to work OK most of the time though.

Just feel sorry for Ole in Norway - he has to go for months in the summer during the "Dark shortage". The entire country runs out of dark! They have very poort Dark conservation policies in Scandinavia...

Yes - we use it all up in the winter so the northern lights are more visible. And Christmas trees too, of course. Then just to be sure we light huge bonfires at midsummer!

I use highly concentrated Dark, and then dilute it 1+50 with light so that it covers more area.......
