Other items you might consider acquiring are a good mercury thermometer (I got mine from Edmund Scientific) to verify solution temperatures, appropriately graduated measuring cylinders (same source) if you decide to mix small batches of chemistry from a 5 liter 6-step kit, and a tupperware or Rubbermaid container to hold the stabilizer or final rinse since that stuff shouldn't be used on plastic reels. I've been doing my own E-6 for about 4 years now with a CPE-2 and now go to a lab only if I'm really at a loss for time. Roy On Wednesday, September 10, 2003, at 12:17 PM, Richard F.
