[Frameworks] Bucket Developing 16mm Tri X Reversal

[Roger Wilson]

I think when using Dektol developer the following would be the proper times and procedures for processing Tri X as a reversal. As mentioned I use D19 developer myself and my times are different so run tests first.
Developer 7 minuteswash 1 minutebleach 4 minuteswash 1 minuteClear bath 30 secondswash 1 minutere exposure to light - 1 to 2 minutesre-developer 5 minutesfix 5 minutesfinal wash 10 minutes
I've started to mix a lot of my own chemicals to make developer, etc and its not hard to do but just be sure to be cautious because you are using chemicals that can be rather toxic. I believe the following is the basic chemistry to making your own bleach.  Can someone on Frameworks confirm this?
Note: mix the potassium with the water and then add the sulfuric acid to the mixture. You should be careful not to add the water/potassium mixture to the sulfuric acid but the other way around. Use gloves and eye wear protection!1 liter of water9.5 grams of potassium dichromate12 ml of sulfuric acid (concentrated)

Without failure you can never achieve success. I have based my process and my career as an experimental film artist on this statement; and I welcome it as it pushes me forward as an artist to try something different, something new.

You can still get a  T-Max kit from Photographers Formulary in the US: http://stores.photoformulary.com/reversal-developer-for-t-max/ It's listed as "developer" but contains the bleach as well.

I think Kodak discontinued making the T-max kit a few years back, which is one of the reasons why I process as a negative and then make my prints using kodak 7203 print stock. But you can still process as a reversal and there are recipes out there to make your own bleach for reversal processing. Here is a link to my site where I have notes on negative processing with D19. http://www.rogerdwilson.ca/2/post/2014/02/hand-processing-16mm-bw-film-with-kodak-d19.html

Here's a guide to processing as reversal using a T-Max kit: http://www.ralphdickinson.com/process_site/allpages.html

Can you provide us with a little background here? For example, as Roger put, reversal or negative? Anything special you're looking for in developing, or as "clean" an image as possible? What's your prior experience with processing (still or motion film)? etc.
