RE: Mixing Rodinal Chemicals

["George L Smyth" <glsmyth@xxxxxxx>]

I use a syringe to measure Rodinal.  You don't need one with a needle
(actually, you probably can't get one).  Go to the baby food area of your
local supermarket and look there.  Syringes are made for giving small
amounts of medicine to babies, and that is where I got my first one.  Ask
the pharmacist there is you can't fint it.

When my daughter's rat had a problem (yes, her rat), we took it to the
doctor.  While there, I asked the doctor if they had any needleless syringes
and explained the purpose for my query.  She gave me a few very small ones -
made for giving very small amounts of medicine to small animals.

I use that one when measuring out a 1:75 dilution of Rodinal within 2 ounces
of developer when developing HSI.

So go the syringe route and you'll find the consistency you need.

Cheers -

george
