Tim,

I would appreciate any info you can get.  Gordon Hutchings covers the safety 
aspects of Pyro pretty thoroughly in his book, but more information would be 
useful.. I'm a big fan of personal protection.  (OK guys, no jokes here!)  
Following are the chemicals involved:
        Metol
        Sodium Bisulfite
        Pyrogallol
        EDTA
        Sodium Metaborate
        
Thanks,
Richard Wasserman
