Mixing instructions: Add chemicals in specified sequence.

Dilution: Mix equal parts A + B, then dilute 1+9 with water. Solutions A, B and bleach can all be stored for several months in opaque bottles. The working solution should be used immediately, although it can be stored for short periods.

Use: Immerse fully-washed print (presoak if previously dry) in the bleach until it turns a faint buff color. Rinse in several changes of water. Redevelop in toner solution for one minute, or until fully redeveloped. Wash.

Notes: For yellow-brown tones make working solution with half the quantity of B. For deep-brown tones make working solution with double the quantity of B.
