Many years ago, I had an advertising job that required a short turn-around time. I took the RB67 and type 55 film, a two liter bottle of Coke and an empty plastic container. I shot the church building, timed the process, separated the negative, and dropped it into the coke and dipped it a few times. After the second shot, a man came running out of the building to ask what I was doing. He understood that I was taking pictures, but couldn't understand the need to wash it in coke. I was told that coke makes a good substitute for sodioum sulfite. It worked for me anyway. I used Hypo after getting back to the studio and the negative still looks fine. Rick from Arkansas "Arkie"
