    Default RCM cleaning solutions - current

    I have just picked up a new Project RCM at a good price, I was wondering what everyone is using currently as a cleaning solution.
    I know there is a sticky thread of Marco’s, just looking more current experiences and recommendations before I order gallons of distilled water.
    Regards

    Don't think you can really go wrong following this recipe.

    Thanks Nick, will check online for suppliers, as I don’t we have locally open at the moment which would stock those items.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I use a 60/40 mix of distilled water and IPA with a couple of table spoons of Ilfotol wetting agent in my ultrasonic bath, it works well

    Default Ilfotol

    HI Guys

    Just checking on the price of Ilford Ilfotol, best price i've found if you're UK based is Mathers of Bolton £11.95 + p&p for 1 litre https://www.mathersoflancashire.co.u...-1ltr-237.html - they don't post out unfortunately as they use Royal Mail. AG Photographic in Birmingham £14.54 & Silverprint in Dorset £21.16 Yikes!! (Both 1 litre both + p&p) they both use couriers so you can get it delivered. Pity Mathers don't though.

    I still have a darkroom to produce my fine art black & white prints & still have plenty of Ilfotol left from a bottle I bought ages ago, it lasts quite a while.

    Hope this helps.

    Many thanks Clint, unfortunately due to the current crisis there has been a shortage of certain products and also a subsequent price hike.

    As an alternative to Ilford Ilfotol you could get a 10ml bottle of Triton x 100 from the bay for about £8.
    Mix it with 80ml distilled water and 10ml of isopropyl and use that instead.
    Also I have started using deionised water from halfords or tesco with no discernable difference in sound quality.
