RE: Pt/Pd Development

Loris,

Thanks for the reply, but I'm looking into this development mixture not so
much for its results, but mostly for the sake of trying it.

I've been looking at places like B&S and the Formulary, and the
Formulary's the only place I've found online that sells potassium
phosphate at all (short of buying $1000 worth in bulk). The original
question was whether potassium phosphate would work in dibasic form as
opposed to monobasic (which is what the "recipe" called for).

So anyway, I think I'm just going to dive in and see what happens. I'm
waiting on chemistry and paper at the moment, but if I find out anything
I'll let everyone know.
