Mixing instructions: Add chemicals in specified sequence. This is a variation of the FX 2 formula listed in The Film Developer's Cookbook. This version omits stock solution C and should be mixed as follows:
For Solution A each chemical should be added in the sequence listed and should be allowed to dissolve fully before the next is added; however a pinch of the sodium sulfite should be stirred in prior to the metol, with the remainder following in sequence after the metol is added. This solution should be filtered before storing.
