Darkroom chemicals source in Canada

[dfoo]

Anyone know where to get metol, Sodium Sulfite and Sodium Carbonate? I want to make up some Beutler developer.

I was looking for JD PhotoChem, but I just saw a thread on another site that said they were selling everything off and getting out of the biz.

There was mention of this place in Toronto:

Nymoc Products Co
24 MCGEE ST Toronto, Ontario M4M 2K9
Phone: 416-465-1929 Fax: 416-465-6691
nymoc@bellnet.ca

Hope it's the right info

Cheers
Steven

I assume you are willing to have this shipped. Photographers Formulary have all this stuff but the shipping will probably cost you more than the chemicals. Alternatively if you can find some metol, the sodium sulphite and sodium carbonate are very common chemicals which a chemical supply house would carry. I also suspect that the sodium sulphite sold by a wine making supplier will be in the same form and purity as the stuff sold for photography.

Here's another possibility. I believe that Ilford Perceptol part A contains only metol. Now you just need to get sodium sulphite and sodium carbonate at an industrial source.
