Dilute 1:1 with water and store in two 1-liter containers. Use one bottle as developer and use the other to top off the first after every session.

This developer is formulated to have the same keeping properties as Ansco/Agfa 130, but to produce a colder, very slightly blue image.

This formulation is my own. So far, I've tried it with good results on Kentmere Bromide paper.
