As in the film wetting solution?
I would try Rewind at Broadway. I know they have some dev chemicals in store.

Not sure if they have many chemicals but you could also try Sydney Super 8 in Newtown.

I've heard of people just using some heavily diluted washing up liquid instead but I haven't tried it.


P.S. I would have mentioned Blanco Negro, as they're the biggest, but it looks like they're closed until late September.

back many decades ago now when I was chemical processing film I used, non soap liquid pretty diluted. The only reason for using it is to reduce the surface tension of water so that you don't get drying streeks of to get a good glaze if you are producing gloss prints. Anything that doesn't interact with glycerene will do the job.

thx all went with Photoresource from Victoria who ship with Auspost . Could not find it locally. Vanbar will ship but only by road freight.
I also see two different bottles for thso does anyone know if they are different?

https://www.photoresource.com.au/KOD..._p/1464510.htm
this one says Kodak K not sure if it's different.
https://www.vanbar.com.au/catalogue/....php?id=115351

my use is not for film it's to make dr Clay's optics cleaning mix .

But then I spoke to Bintell seems there is the same so got that also.
