We just brought the powder over and mixed it in an empty mineral water bottle with tap water. That's certainly one possiblity even if you use Type 655 on medium format. My assistant found the bathrooms, without their windows, a great place to load 4x5 holders also. - -- Carl Socolow http://members.tripod.com/SocPhoto/
