wrote: Are these the same? I'm looking for the 3 grams specified for the Microphen substitute in Darkroom CB. April 28, 2009, from Lloyd Erlick, Watch out for anhydrous borax. I foolishly bought a large bag of it many years ago, just because the price was attractive. Anhydrous borax dissolves in water so slowly we will all die of old age waiting. I could find no additional chemicals that made it dissolve fully. It's a nice white powder that you can pour on the ground to mark your path. regards, --le ________________________________ Lloyd Erlick Portraits, Toronto. website: www.heylloyd.com telephone: 416-686-0326 email: ________________________________ -- |

It may be true for both. -- .~.

I thought they said that about boric acid They sell the 'wrong sort' of Boric Acid as roach powder. I found it will dissolve in boiling water. In cold water one may as well be trying to dissolve sand. -- Nicholas O.
