Should I just get my own chemistry along with some paper? I'm not experienced enough to know how much old chemistry will affect my prints. I found some bottles of Rodinal in the closet in the darkroom, and I've used that (and not the already mixed developer in the bottles (ooold)). I just imagine that having new paper is more important than having new chemicals. Old paper give flat prints, I like contrast in my bw prints.
Also, I've been using water as stop bath. Just sink water. Water will stop the development slower than a dedicated stop bath, and so it's not as easy to get the results I want. If I add some vinegar or citric acid or some other form of inexpensive, household acid, that should quicken the process, yes?
