Plus-X PULL to 80iso

[ann]

you may be more sensitive to the chemicals used in the darkroom, but most of the most toxic have been removed from production.

I have been doing darkroom work for over 63 years and the only side effect, i am hard to finger print.

Now , when one gets to toning, that is a different "animal" and care should be taken.

Color chemistry is a very toxic as well.

I am very aware of the toxicity of color chemicals.

I use a respiration only when I'm mixing powder chemicals for B&W stuff. Not while working or developing.

Don't want to lose focus in this thread, so I'll bring it back to pulling plus-x.
I'll post my results soon enough!

Hey man, i bought RAW materials [chemicals] to produce Rodinal, i am not sure i have the required raw materials, but each of those materials are so toxic and dangerous, Hyd.Sod. alone is so scary, one mistake and i may burn my skin, and we don't know what other material can do.
Also about the fixer, it contains silver, and in some forums i heard people saying to not dump that fixer in the sink, i ignored that and always dumping it in the sink going to sewage network or wherever, so if i am so critic about some materials toxicity and i don't care about something else that can be same or closer toxic to those then i am confusing and contradicting myself.
Althout your fear about Diafine, i will use it when the time is coming, is it that toxic as you believe or not doesn't matter for me, i bought it to use it, and i am sure i will dilute it and reuse it more than once for limited quantity and i hope this will make it less toxic, and at the end i live in different country than you ;-)
