Response to Rodinal w/sodium ascorbate

I'm afraid I caused the confusion regarding how much bicarbonate to add to ascorbic acid to converit to sodium ascorbate. Patrick mentioned that you could add 4 grams/liter of sodium ascorbate to Rodinal (1:50), so when he gave the conversion I assumed he was referring to 4 grams of acid being converted. I have modified my recommendations in my article Appreciating Rodinal to reflect the information he has provided above. Patrick, if you have time I'd appreciate it if you would look the article over and make sure all the information is correct. I also show that you can convert using 10% sodium hydroxide, but I don't think I have the correct ratio.
