The directions is pretty clear to me. As for giant tank, I talked to David about that, and he said don't worry about it, the 500ml solution should be fine. You want to send me some of yours for starter :-)? Actually, I may order some Formulary MCM-100. It seems to contain the same developing agent p-phenylenediamine. What I am looking for is the long smooth tonal range since the backend of my process is scanning and print. I want to have as much information to work with as possible.
