I found small batches on Ebay bit the freight from the UK is a bit excessive. I bought some 6 months ago from a camera shop in Sydney. I cant remember which one though. I think it was about $50 for a litre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be able to get it from your local camera store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Total Photographic(?) in Kent Town, they stock a fair amount of Ilford consumables. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankn Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 You can purchase it in the camera shop in Adelaide Central Market. Ive got a bottle I can share some if you want. I can’t see where you are- if interstate I’d have to charge you for a bottle and postage at cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crisis Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I have read where people put a drop of detergent in as a surfactant. I got hold of some plant based no additives no color gear which I think I might try. I am going to give a record a go this weekend. So about 1/2 and 1/2 demineralised water/iso alcohol and a couple of drops of this gear I'm thinking? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Y Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Hi @crisis - the traditional recommendation mix is keep the iso alcohol down to around 20% max. (Risk of increased removal of plasticisers on the vinyl.) With a drop or 2 of the detergent/surfactant as a surface wetting agent. However, ideally use just pure non-ionic (pH neutral), detergent/surfactant (no additives, colourings, bleach, perfumes, etc) - if you have such concentrate, then 0.1-0.5% dilution is all you'll need - certainly adequate if you are ultrasonic cleaning.
