The opened factory bottles should keep the concentrates for months.
Thanks: no problem - I never reuse Foma chemistry, but I have half my opened factory bottle concentrates remaining - looks like I can shoot and develop some film film then! :)

Hello Mr X ,
I have never used Foma Chemistry ! , I found that if you can Find the bleach for B/W/R it become very cheap to do , cut's out having to pay silly price's for the
chemistry , ie a kit , which is one shot ? you save alot of buck's /and with this gave me time to play ! The bleach being the hardest part to find but has saved me so much over the year no Lab cost's ,

And you can not beat Home cooking as there say !

Thanks Nikonr10,

Have not investigated DIY chemicals yet - if my experiments with black and white cine film progress it might be something for the future?

Are there recipes on the web please? I am sure a few have been kindly shared here in the past but I failed to bookmark them.

Are you aware at all that some of these fluids are a danger to you health? The bleach is made up from a strong acid which will eat your skin and blind your eyes on accidental contact. Also you need to work in a well ventilated room as some fumes and powders aren't healthy either.
All is of course the same for DIY and ready-made :) The contact risk is with DIY much larger as you will be spending much more time with the soups.
Now selling in classifieds:
New-old-stock classic ciné projector bulbs
CIR Catozzo Splicers and tape S8
Beaulieu Nizo accessoiries/parts
Daylight 8/8 CINÉ processing tank Superior bulk film

As long as you know what one is doing/ and then take all the necessary check's ie have over 20 years dark room ex / yes and one has to be so careful with that bleach but also one would be careful with E6 as well ,

it really not that hard to do but take's time to learn like all things !

Thanks to all: I'm in no hurry - still trying to sort my hardwear - will worry about chemicals more when I've got all my lenses and cameras up to spec - and that is some mountain to climb. Thank goodness for the Foma kit in the meantime ;)
