RE: Lithium palladium vs. "normal" palladium
Camden, the important part about mixing is to use the right amount of salts in relationship to each other; 2 Moles of [Li, NH4, Na] Cl, to 1 mole of PdCl2. How you decide to dilute it is up to you. The B&S line dilutes it at the 5g/ to make 60ml. How does one make there AFO, or FO is equally important. The numbers are not etched in stone but the results nearly are :) The old standard palladium formula is made with sodium.
