[alt-photo] Re: Substitute for citric acid

[BOB KISS]

DEAR DON,
	Have I been misinformed that 7-Up and Sprite both also have
phosphoric acid in them?  I was told that their concentrated syrups had to
be shipped as Hazmat as a result.  Further, I was told that they were very
effective in clearing pt/pd prints.  
	Add to this the fact that I was told that a concentrated solution of
MSG will develop a pt/pd print and I have vowed never to eat or drink
ANYTHING that either develops or clears a pt/pd print!
	I know, I know, Vit C (ascorbic acid) develops (in combination with
other dev agents and at the correct pH) film and paper but that is a VERY
different story.  
		CHEERS!
			BOB

Yep! It has citric acid in it. It's an expensive option but will work in a
pinch.

Seriously? Just wash the print in a liter of 7UP?
