The way I do it is to mix developers as two stock solutions. The
reducing agent(s), preservative(s) are kept in the A bottle, the
accelerator (alkaline) is kept in the B bottle. The contents of the A
bottle may be further preserved using sodium metabisulfite as an
adjunct preservative. Full details of this method may be sen in two
articles I wrote for Photo Techniques about this-part 1 is in the Jan/Feb
1996 issue, part 2 is in the Sept/October 1996 issue.
