	I've check into this a little bit.  The technician at Kodak told me that 
dividing the chemicals for small batches presented a problem because the 
dry material did not mix together well to form a homogeneous mixture.  He 
said that if one divided the material for small batches it would be very 
unlikely that one would get uniform results.  Another draw back is that the 
minimum amounts of the AR-5 chemicals cost over $700.  I would love to 
figure out how to do small batches of AR-5 and if we could figure out a 
good way of dividing the chemicals maybe the cost for a minimum order could 
be shared.
