Making 510 Pyro Film Developer

I decided to play around with another staining developer. I've heard so many good things about 510-Pyro, so why not give it go? I've tried just about every staining developer out there, and have settled on Pyrocat-HD, which I've been using for twenty years. Before I can see what 510-Pyro can do, I need to mix up a batch. Come and check it out!

*****************************************WARNING*******************************************
Pyrogallol represents a serious health threat if its dust is inhaled, ingested, or if absorbed through the skin. Reasonable safety precautions (like Nitrile gloves, masks, etc.) can reduce or eliminate these risks.
In the video, I am not wearing Nitrile gloves. I am very careful to not allow the Pyro to come in contact with my skin. I always wear a respirator and work in a well ventilated area...if you do not have a well ventilated space, then mix up the developer outside). When I am diluting the stock solution for film development, it's gloves on! Even when I am using conventional developers that incorporate the developing agent Hydroquinone, I wear Nitrile gloves. Keep your work area clean! Safe practices are best.

Yes it is as good as they claim. Need to make another batch and I will be following your mixing instructions.

Hey Andy! So I’m getting ready to test out some 510 Pyro myself and was wondering how many sheets of 8x10 x-Ray film per 1+1000ml this could handle? I know you were going to a video on using the stuff soon.

This was an interesting video. Is Pyro 510 not mass produced? I’m guessing that or you just like doing everything yourself. I can relate to the later 😂
