It took me many rolls of film to arrive at a workflow that results in good negs with no water marks, and that involves a final rinse with Photo-Flo. Now I find I can't buy any locally, and one of the on-line sellers will only supply if I order six bottles! (They don't hold stock.)
Does anyone in Oz know of a shop that has stock? Or alternately, would anyone like to to share in the purchase of a few bottles? It would work out to about $6 plus postage per bottle.

Vanbar says they have some in stock. PM me if you can't find any - I am pretty sure I know where I can find some.

You could also try Ilford Wetting Agent, also scarce but a far better product.

Chris,
I don't know how much you churn through, but I bought the Ilford wetting agent (a Litre) for about $25AUD. It may be costly, but at 3mL for every 2 rolls of film, this thing will last me a while.

Hi Marty - Yep, Vanbar probably has some but they charge minimum $18 post and handling - for a $6 item! Will get back to you if I can't track some down. I've emailed another seller on the web and will see what they say.
The Ilford might be worth a try, but once again neither of the last two local shops that carries developing gear have stock, although one does have the Ilford rinse-aid (hypo-clearing agent).
Maybe I need to buy the six bottles to give me a 20-year supply!

I have been stocking chems and enlarging bulbs for years in anticipation. Order the 6 bottles.
Common carriers will not take liquids from individuals or I would ship some to you.

Hi Chris, PM me and I'll post you a bottle - I accidently purchased 2 bottles / lifetimes of this fine product a couple of months ago (late night Vanbar order - too much red wine). Been wondering what I would do with 2 bottles - now I know!

Hi Tyrone - Oops! I've managed to source some myself, and also have two bottles on the way. I'm starting to think that Ronald has the right idea. Thanks for the offer.

Ted's (Canberra) promised to get me the last two bottles from their shop in Brisbane.
