As I write this, I'm washing out a plastic 1-gallon tub to mix the stuff up.
I will look at the Frugal site for the directions. Thanks!!

Jeff, did you download the instructions on the Frugal Photographer site? 
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.
