Ewesly / Holographic Formulae / GP 433
Bleach solution
30 g Potassium Iodide
3 g Boric Acid
2 g p-Benzoquinone added just before use.
One litre water
Processing
Bleaching time: One and a half times the time it takes to clear.
Temperature: 20C Agitation: Intermittent
Shelf life: Probably not too long after the PBQ is added.
This bleach is supposed to upshift the replay color to longer wavelength, although I've never seen it work. Another one not to bother with in my book.
