E6 Color developer

[Misko78]

I'm using Fujihunt E6 5L Kit, but bottle with CD part B cracked leaked all over my storage. Now my kit is useless.

I can aquire Kodak E6 CD part A 20l and part B 5l, for almost nothing, but this thing requires Color Developer Starter II, i don't have it and can't get it. Does anyone know how to substitute it? Or maybe don't use it at all as i don't plan to replenish.

The starter has nothing to do with the actual replenishment process. The starter is only required for making working solution developer out of replenisher solution, which is what this kit appears to make.

Sorry I can't help you with a formula or substitute for the starter, but if you don't use it, don't expect optimal results.

I wonder whether you could mix at least a liter or so with the remaining liquid in your Fujihunt kit, then use Kodak replenisher to reach full capacity of your 5l kit. I know, I know, one should not replenish Fujihunt chems with Kodak replenisher ....

Another option would be mixing 5 l of E6 CD from Stefan Lange's formulas.

See the post about keeping CD away from PET's. It appears a number of us have lost our CD that way.

I got a new kit in the end. Do you maybe have a link to that post?
