Response to Amidol differences???

I can't imagine that Amidol is used in the food industry due to high toxicity. Not sure about hair, but I doubt it. You have to be careful because chemical trade names aren't always the same from industry to industry. You might be getting a close cousin, but not what you want. Follow the others advice on suppliers. I've been happy with Photographers Formulary (I don't use Amidol) but have to agree that the mechanical properties of some of their chemicals are a bit inconsistant. Another way to make a mess is to use a plastic spoon to measure out their sodium hydroxide. The static charge sucks the little round balls out of the jar and shoots them all over the workbench! Flakes would be safer.
