Response to Ascorbic acid/Metol developer query

Shoot, my columns were not preserved in my previous posting. Again, here is my paraphrase of Chris Patton's sodium metaborate enhancement to Pat Gainer's formula using Ted Kaufman's Stock A and Stock B solution approach with my own 1:1:6 dilution adjustment contribution (whew! credit where it is due):

Vitamin C + Metol + Sodium Metaborate Developer

For 1 liter Stock A and Stock B solutions:

Stock A: 1L distilled water + 16g ascorbic acid + 2.1g metol

Stock B: 1L distilled water + 64g sodium metaborate

For 500ml Stock A and Stock B solutions:

Stock A: 500ml distilled water + 8g ascorbic acid + 1g metol Stock B: 500ml distilled water + 32g sodium metaborate

To make working solution, 1A + 1B + 6H20 (distilled)

Use D76 times and temperatures.
