Re: ammonium citrate recipe?

[Clarence Rhymer <crhymer@northwestel.net>]

I use 26 degree Be ammonium hydroxide to process diazo paper.  It is 
available from some graphic arts suppliers, but diazo is getting scarce, 
so it may be hard to find.  I don't know how pure it is, since it is 
actually the vapour that is used, but the supplier may know.  Of course 
it is more concentrated than household ammonia.

Cheers,
Clarence
