Response to PMK in Australia

PMK is easy to make from normally stocked dry chemistry. Any chemical supply house will have the sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfite, and the Kodalk (sodium metaborate.) Nearly all will have metol, but you may have a little trouble finding pyrogallol because the demand is low. Photographers' Fromulary in the USA (Montana) can ship it. (http://www.montana.com/formulary/)I would get only the chemicals that are unavailable where you are and avoid shipping costs. Get the Book of Pyro by Gordon Hutchings. PF packages it with a kit of PMK at a reduced price. Good luck.
