Marko, a developer, fixer or stop is not a chemical. It is a mixture of chemicals.

last chemical i made wasnt today, but yesterday.
i it was pulverized arabica mixed
with water just under boil ( about 205ºF ).

i sometimes process my film in it, when i add ascorbic-acid (C6H8O6) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) .

instead i took the arabica/water mix added sucrose ( Na2CO3 )
and drank it .

As of tonight, a magic potion that eliminates pointless polling by pubescent patrons with presumably photographic pursuits.

When cooled, solidified into a button..I named it "ignore list"

I don't "remake chemicals". I mix chemicals with water to get a processing solution.

But I still don't know what you're trying to ask: Is diluting a concentrate "remaking chemicals"? Is mixing a developer from raw ingredients (=chemicals) what you mean? Or adding water to a commercial powder mix?

I once "made a chemical" - sodium metaborate - which is not easily available. It's been done before, and I'll do it again in a couple of weeks. I might call that "remaking a chemical", but sodium metaborate isn't on your list...

Just an observation

How interesting that a child has the attention of over 14, 300 plus people and is holding a small part of that group in a dance macabre.

Sadly this child seems to have a great passion for photography and learning and yet is alienating the very group that could be the most help to him.

Perhaps this is a new version of the old story of the child who cried wolf.

I've made some urea this morning, I haven't decided yet what to do with it. Marko, you'd like some? You can develop film with it.

You drank sodium carbonate in your coffee? Sucrose is C12H22O11

I really don't understand the purpose of this question. Perhaps it would be more informative to ask something like; "Do you mix your own processing solutions and how often do you mix up developer and fixer?"

Also, yesterday I reinvented the wheel. Does that count as remaking?
