Recipe is per 250ml, phenidone should be mixed to a 2.5% solution in propylene glycol. Use the same times as Xtol, can be used stock or 1:1.

Times treated identical to Xtol

Mocon

From Mark Overton or his article on Photrio, an extra long lasting Xtol clone that keeps as a frozen concentrate.

Mixing the concentrate at 75C add each ingredient one at a time until fully disolved. Should take between 20-25 minutes. Suggestion is to mix in batches and stored in as small a container as possible to avoid oxidation.

Preparing a working solution (1L)

Add water to 1L and and stir until dissolved (about 3.5 min at 20C).
