Where do you get the chemicals for making developer?

>is there a one stop shop?

any supplier recommendations?

 

[sirch]

When you say "making developer" do you mean buy developer to dilute or something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffenol?

Hi Sirch,

I mean individual components

Sodium Sulphite
Hydroquinone
Phenidone,
Potassium Metabisulphite
anhydrous Sodium Sulphite
Sodium Tetraborate decahydrate


Etc etc

I don't mind shopping around but thought it best to ask here first.

In the 1960s you could still get most, if not all, from a local chemist shop but I don't think that's been true for many years. I'd do a search on "photographic chemical suppliers uk" and see what comes up.

Nik and Trick have a good selection from Bellini foto.

I got my KBr, washing soda and Vitamin C for Caffenol off Ebay.

Process Supplies seem to stock some, although a few appear to be out of stock. https://www.processuk.net/browse/cat740598_659670.aspx
