2. Product appears to be of very high quality

   Posted by Randy on 2nd Aug 2022

   My understanding is that Glycin needs to be fresh when dissolved into solution, like several other organic developing agents. I dissolved it in TEA as a 10% solution to preserve it and extend it's shelf life to possibly several years; required quite a bit of heating to fully dissolve at 10%, would probably be easier at a lower percentage. Next time I may try propylene glycol as a solvent as I have used for Phenidone and P-Aminophenol Hydrochloride. Once these developing agents are dissolved in solvents mentioned above they mix very easily in formulas that contain either other solvents or water. Highly recommended!

5. Glycin

   Recently, I bought a new package of Dektol, and I noticed Kodak changed the packaging, only to find out that they are outsourcing their chemicals to third party manufacturers. The new packaging is also not light tight, so I am convinced the chemical is gravely compromised. The chemical itself was murky brown, similar to stagnate, muddy water, which left my prints flat, and the rest of the paper a sepia tone, I don’t want.
   
   After researching on the internet and Steve Anchell’s book, “The Darkroom Cookbook,” I bought several chemicals from Photographer’s Formulary: Glycin, Hydroquinone, Metol, Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Sulfite, Potassium Bormide, Potassium Carbonate to make Ansco 120, Ansco 130, Angel Adams Ansco 130, Der Beers VC developer, and to experiment with some warm tone developers too.
   
   The results were WOW WOW WOW! Simply fantastic. All the chemistry is fresh, easy to mix, and the results were amazing. I have never seen such tonalities in my prints before. Now, I want to go back reprint 30+ years of work. I will never go back to the inferior store bought Kodak products, which have degraded overtime.
   
   Mixing your chemistry is easy, fun, and the results are amazing. Ordering the chemicals were quite easy from Photographer’s Formulary, the items were well packed, and arrived a day earlier than expected. If you love being in the darkroom, I would highly recommend to start making your film and printing developers.

6. Relatively expensive, but well worth it in the long run.

   Posted by David on 27th Nov 2020

   I have found that paper developer formulas that contain glycin give you several advantages over other paper developers.
   Not only do you get a developer with a wide tonal range, but you also are able to change print results drastically.
   This is accomplished by changing development times, as the longer you keep a print in a glycin developer, the richer it becomes.
   This gives more control over the final product, as the longer the print development time, the more latitude and control you have for the final print.
   Also, developers containing glycin typically last longer in solution than other developers.
   For me this is a win, win, win situation.

8. common sense

   Posted by Unknown on 7th Mar 2018

   Hello, a piece of common sense advice, for long distances, think about buying it when it's not too hot.

   Great product. Activity is excellent. Used it in the 130 formula for film and paper. Suggest keeping it in freezer to maximize its activity.
   
   PF is currently the only domestic source that I know of, and I am grateful that they stock it.

    You are the best choice for quality, price (especially in Europe) and transport (1 week for Belgium) thank you and nice to you life.
