Hi Lindsay,
I can't answer any of your Qs, but that LIFT bleach
(diluted 1:2) has lasted a lot longer, with a lot more
footage, for me.

Hi Frameworks

I need some bleach information. I'm wondering if
anyone knows how to
mix
the old Kodak reversal bleach (what chemicals to buy
and in what
quantity).
I recently used a (new?) bleach, mixed by LIFT - its
purple and
apparently
more environmentally friendly, but it only lasted
400ft or a couple of
hours. I'm hoping to have a more long lasting, hardy
bleach. The new
Kodak
B+W Reversal Bleach will take too long to get to me
(Montreal) and is a
minimum of 40 gallons. And is there some trick to
making it a working
solution? Is R9 the stuff to have? What's the
difference? Has anyone
got
homemade recipes that are reasonably reliable? I've
got a chemical
supplier
but I don't want to kill myself. Please help.
