| Ingredient | Quantity | |
|---|---|---|
| Chromium(III) potassium sulfate (chrome alum) | 30 | grams |

If crystalline sodium sulfate is preferred instead of desiccated sulfate, use 140 grams.
Agitate negatives for 30–45 seconds when they are first immersed, to avoid unevenness, and leave them for 3 minutes. After the equivalent of 20 10×8″ films per 4.7 liters been treated, the bath should be replaced, otherwise scum markings will result.
The freshly-made bath is violet-blue colour and keeps indefinitely while unused. A partially used bath deteriorates on standing for a few days, the colour changing to a yellow-green. The hardening bath should never be overworked.
