[alt-photo] Re: SPE and Liquid light developer hardner and fixer dilutions

[ender100 at aol.com]

Francis,

Great to meet you and loved the portfolio of seedpods you showed.  
Thanks for the comment on the Photopolymer Gravures!

My head is still groggy from the long SPE weekend and travel. Great to
finally meet Chris in person and Mark. Those were beautiful photo 
polymer
gravures. And one must hold Chris' Chromoskedasic Sabattier prints in 
order
to see them in all of their silvery goodness. I even liked the one that
didn't plate out.  Congratualtions to Stephanie Obernesser on selling 
work
there. I enjoyed talking to the undergraduate students about their
portfolios.

I need help with recipes relating to working with Liquid Light.

Chris James recommends using a Maco hardner in Dektol. Does anyone have 
a
recipe from scratch that could achieve the same thing?

Also, I have a dilution for hypo for use with VDB but not a "normal"
dilution for hypo for fixing papers. Working directions ask for a plain 
hypo
with a hardner added. Could I add some of the Kodak Rapid Fix solution B
(the sulfuric acid hardner) to the plain hypo to achieve this. Could 
someone
suggest a starting point?

Sodium Metabisulfite vs. Potassium Metabisulfite? Could I use the latter
instead of the former for the Kodak Kodak Fixer 24 recipe? If not is 
Sodium
Metabisulfite the one used in brewing beer? If so I can pick some up at 
the
beer, wine and home brewing store across town.
