Hey Sandy;
I am not Ryuji, but I have used PMK with a small ([ chemical spoon ] pinch)
with 500ml of mixed PMK. Using Amidol with very good success, I have done it
this way for many years, I bought 10 grams of Amidol about four years ago
and have yet to use perhaps 1/2. It works great to boost speed, I have not
seen grain increase in MF& LF negatives using HP5, Delta 400 & 100,
Acros.
There is an Amidol water 2 bath developer I used it many moons ago.
It gave me some very accuatant negatives, but the poison qualities of Amidol
hold no particular interest to me, if you would like the formula I'll dig it
up.
