Re: bleaching attn: Tim

Tim,
Thanks for all the details.  I followed the instructions in your book and in 
Theresa Airey's book and practiced a bit before attempting the mural.  I 
figured I had nothing to lose as I wasn't satisfied with the mural as 
is....so I jumped right in.  It turned out absolutely beautiful.  

I do have a question regarding your mix as described below and in your book.  
With the Kodak Farmer's Solution, after mixing part A with B do you still 
need to add hypo???  Isn't Part B Hypo???   I mixed 10 ml A with 10 ml B and 
about 20 ml water as it was a little to fast without the dilution.  I then 
refixed the whole print.  

Thanks again and let me know what you think about the hypo in part B.

Take care,
Karin
<< 
 I would use Farmer's Soln for this - pot. ferricyanide in hypo. I normally
 use about 25ml of weak hypo in a pot, more or less depending how much I have
 to do, and add from an eye dropper bottle between 2 & 6 drops of 10% stock
 'ferri' soln. The no. of drops depends on the depth of tone I am working
 on - you just have to get a feel for it. The strength of the hypo is not
 important. If it is strong the mixture 'goes off' quicker - if it is weaker
 you can work with it longer. About 1/4 working strength is OK. Add more
 ferri as it gets weaker and the colour fades. >>
