Developing with coffee

[rom4n301]

so ive herd that you can develop a roll of film using coffee, so i wanna try this out for myself. Ive looked at some of the stuff you need for it, and ive looked all over but i cant find any washing soda. can someone please give me a recipe, i dont know what to call it, that i can use. oh and i have a 120 roll of t-maxx 400. so if you could give me the times too thatd be great. i need this stuff bye tonight because im doing this for a project in school. if someone could give me all the info that would be awesome, thanks ={D

thanks, but that requires washing soda, i looked all over for it and i cant find it =/

actually.. now that i think about it.. it doesnt have to be coffee developer, it can be anything out of the ordinary. just cant be developed using normal developer. so any recipes?. thanks again

I thought you might pick up on the health food store for washing soda.

ieght.. yea.. i just found washing soda.. but for the vitamin c.. can i just buy vitamin c pills and crush them up?

 

[ChasK]

I don't know but it seems the washing soda is more important than the coffee mixture.
