Here is the formula I use, with D-19 Developer.  It works very well.  For
negative, skip to step 11 after step 3:

1. Water Wash

3 MINUTES


2. 1st Developer: Kodak D-19
                                                            5 MINUTES

    *Save this developer, you will use it again at step 7*


3. Water Wash

3 MINUTES


4. Bleach

2 MINUTES

            *Use extreme caution when pouring bleach*


5. Water Wash

3 MINUTES




6. Clearing Bath

1 MINUTE 30 Sec



7. Water Wash

3 MINUTES



8. Dump film into 11x14 tray Turn light on for re-exposure                2
MINUTES



9. 2nd Developer: Kodak D-19
                                                           4 MINUTES

*Use Developer saved in step 2*


10. Water Wash

3 MINUTES



11.
Fixer
6 MINUTES

*DO NOT dump expired fix down the drain. Always pour into silver recovery
system.*


12. Water Wash

10 MINUTES
