My name is Jeff and I want to talk to you a little bit about mixing chemicals. This
is D76, a very common Kodak black and white film developer. As the package clearly states,
this is a 1 gallon mix. You start with 3 liters of water in a mixing jug, pour the powder
in, stir it up and then bring the total volume to a gallon. You want to have the water that
you put in there about 90 degrees and you want to stir it until the powder is completely
resolved and it may take a little while. All your powdered chemicals are mixed in this
basic way of starting with about 2/3 of the water of the total volume and pouring in a
concentrated powder, stirring it and then bringing the total volume up with water after
you’ve got the powder in there.
