With the idea from Noah Henderson at Analog Resurgence, I tried using a mixture made from Iron-Out toilet bowl cleaner to replace the re-exposure, re-development and fix stages. It worked and creates an interesting sepia color tone to the image.

Clearing Bath

Replace with Iron-Out to replace re-exposure, 2^nd Developer and Fix stages.

PROCESS STEPS

1. Dektol (1:3 Dilution) Develop: 7 minutes 20C - Agitate for 30 seconds, then 3 rotations each minute

3. Kodak Permanganate Bleach: 2 minutes (agitate). (ph 1.5)

4. Rinse: 1 minute (agitate)

5. Clearing Bath: 2 minutes (agitate)

6. Rinse: 1 minute (agitate)

7. Chemical Iron-Out Redevelopment 5 minutes (agitate) - replaces expose to light, redevelop and fixing stages (make sure to mix right before you need it and use distilled water)

8. Rinse 1 minute (agitate)

9. Open up tank

10. Final Rinse: 2 minutes (running water)

Iron-Out Redeveloper (2 Liters)

**Mix right before using it. – do not pre-mix, short shelf life.

7 tbsp per 2100ml Distilled Water. (7 tbsp = 130.7g)

(1 tbsp / 300ml distilled water – recipe from youtube)

NOTES:

-       Bleach was adjusted to pH 1.5 by premixing with NaOH Solution

-       Wear a mask when measuring out and using the Iron-Out.   It creates a fine dust in the air from the powder.

-       I mixed the Iron Out with water about 30 seconds before using it, then shook up the jug for about 10 seconds before pouring into the tank.
