Michael,
I live in Argentina and the glycin (wich I mostly use to homebrew
excellent film and paper developers, as the FX-1 and FX-2 for films, and
the Ansco 130 for papers)) is ABSOLUTELY unavailable in the whole
country. So, I buy it from the Photographer's Formulary, but not only
the price but the shipment and custom charges raise the costs at a very
high levels...
In addition to that, the glycin (when powder, unmixed) has a very short
life (i.e. 6 months or so).
So if you can produce glycin at a lower price than other manufacturer,
you will make a real goal.
Regards.
Eduardo Benavidez.
