Don-

If you are comfortable sharing the particulars, I'd be curious to know what
exactly you are referring to with the "etch" followed by the sepia
redeveloper.

Are you referring to the bleach (Pot. Ferr & Pot. Bromide) normally
associated with the bleach/redevelop sepia process? Or were you doing
something else?

BTW- For those of you who wish to avoid the pungent fumes of the sulfide
redeveloper (sepia), I would suggest using thiocarbimide (also known as
thiourea) as a redeveloper instead. It has the added benefit of offering a
chioce of resulting print tones ranging from a yellow/brown to a
purple/brown.
The Kodak Sepia is just about midrange between these two in my experience....

Happy New Year!
