Water | 500 | ml |
Potassium Bichromate | 25 | g |
Part B | ||
Water | 450 | ml |
Hydrochloric Acid | 50 | g |
Mixing Instructions: Add chemicals in specified sequence. Mix Solution A and Solution B together just before use. |
Dilution: Dilution can be varied to increase/decrease effect. The more acid in the bleaching bath, the less the intensification and the slower the reaction. For medium intensification use 4 parts Solution A + 1 part Solution B plus 5 parts water. For very mild intensification use 2 parts Solution A + 2 parts Solution B + 1 part water. For a stronger effect, start with 3 parts Solution A + 1 part Solution B + 4 parts water. |
Usage: Bleach the silver image thoroughly until buff, then wash until yellow stain is removed. Redevelop in any non-staining developer. |
Notes Properly stored solutions will keep indefinitelyPotassium Bichromate is the same as Potassium Dichromate. WARNING: Hydrochloric Acid is hazardous. Wear gloves at all time to avoid skin contact. Ensure respiratory safety when handling. |
