All you need to develop film is two chemicals
Sodium sulfite
Which can be bought in any Plaid Pantry or 7-Eleven in the back between the
Bush beer and the beef jerky. Tell 'em Harvey went you.
Used for many reasons and will always be obtainable in a chemical supply
house of generic origin.
But if people in the neighborhood have pools you wont have to look hard.

And p-METHYLAMINOPHENOL SULFATE

Agfa first called it Metol
Kodak then called it Elon
But it will come home if you call it:
Enol, LIon, Genol, Graphol, Metol, Photo-Rex, Pictol, Planetol, Rhodol,
Satrapol, Scalol, Verol, and Viterol.

Most of these names have obvious Kryptonian origins.

The result will be D23
Breakfast of champions.
A favorite of Minor White.
Mix it up with spoons leave your scale at home.
