Going to try to mix my own Palladium solution for making Platinum-Palladium or Palladium alone prints. The main chemical used in this mixture is Paladium Chloride, PdCl2. I bought 3 grams of the stuff off a seller in China for $47USD a gram, much cheaper than the $113 USD a gram offered by the American seller Chemsavers. I believe a lot of the price depends on the purity of the chemical, what grade and purity it is.
Will give the Chinese stuff a try, if it works will buy more, if not, too too bad :(.
Here is Bill Schwab's video on mixing the Palladium up, it does not seem too hard, especially after all the wet plate chemistry related mixing I did last year. I will mix up a 25ml batch of this very expensive stuff using 2.3 grams of the Palladium Chloride.
