Default 510-pyro kits still made ?
Hi folks,

Does anyone know if the 510-pyro kits are still made ? Artcraft doesn't seem to list them anymore.

regards
Peter

Artcraft will make any kit to order. You could just ask them.

Its easy to mix on your own as it consists of only 4 chemicals. Heat up the TEA until it is warm and mix in the Vitamin C, Pyrogallol and Phenidone.

The stain will be a light brown. Highlights will be translucent.

Hi Jason,

I don't own an accurate set of scales as I haven't mixed my own chemistry yet.. So if it came pre measured and I have success with it then I'll probably buy a set of scales.

I would like to use it with some rolls of 33mm HIE I have stored away in my freezer.

regards
Peter

Default Do you use 510-Pyro ?

Is anyone else struggling with this? This developer seems to have people very polarized as to their affections for it. If I could solve my low zone density issues, I would love the stuff. I'll admit to not being a soot and chalk fan so perhaps I'm more sensitive to the behavior?

Can people who are using or have used 510-Pyro let us know if you also have concerns about the shadow detail in your prints ?

In the absence of any replies to my question, I might re-phrase it....
