Chemicals From India In The House!

 The Potassium Bromide, Cadmium Bromide and Ammonium Iodide are safely I my darkroom. They arrived via FedEx from India today. Total cost with the $117 CAD customs fee was a little under $1800 CAD, for 15 kilos of chemicals!

I will separate chemicals into smaller bottles, label them and store them in a dark, cool place within the  next week. I hope to be able to use these chemicals for 10 years maybe a bit longer. The savings on this buy should be substantial, My previous cost for Cadmium Bromide was $65 CAD plus dangerous goods shipping fee for 25 grams, Ammonium Iodide was $40 for 25 grams.
