Hi Christina et al.,
FWIW, instructions are online for this process: http://
www.cchem.berkeley.edu/wljeme/Chapt6.html
The text mentions the substitutions of fairly common photographic (or
household) chemicals for the stabilization products. Kodak S2
Activator can be replaced by a dilute potassium or sodium hydroxide
solution and the Ektamatic S30 Stabilizer is a buffered thiocyanate
solution. Years ago I tried the process using ammonium thiocyanate
(IIRC) as well as the Kodak chemicals, and both worked.

I am soooo excited. For those of you chromoskedasic sabattier
junkies out there, we all know that Kodak quit selling the small
versions and/or the big versions of S2 and S30 activator and
stabilizer (respectively). Another company that used to make it is
Portertown. They quit, too. Well, found out today that Freestyle
carries it! I think it will be under the brand name of Clayton, and
it is special order--they have to buy it 12 qt. a time, but at
LEAST someone carries it! So chromo is back in business.
