==Important Safety Tips== C-41RA blix is toxic and nasty; don't get it on your hands, clothes, or in your eyes or mouth. The developer's pretty unpleasant too, but the blix is a special kind of assholish chemical. All three of the major components are probably carcinogenic, so yeah, you might want to wear gloves when handling them. You'd be a special kind of jerk to leave it, or things that have touched it, where people might be handling food. Keep chemistry away from food, animals and children. When your chemistry's spent, dispose of it carefully; the developer is okay to pour down the drain with plenty of water, but the blix has silver compounds in it so needs to be de-silvered before disposal. The stabilizer has hydrazine and (when used) formaldehyde in it. Dispose carefully. Both the blix and the stabilizer will gradually off-gas in the bottle, so don't leave them on the shelf too long unless you want to see the bottle blow its top. If you get any of these chemicals in your eyes, get someone to force your eye open and flush under running water for several minutes, and then get them to take you directly to the eye hospital. I am not even kidding. Everything you use in this process needs to be totally free of grease, soap, and other impurities. Colour film is a complicated chemical system that revolves around selectively monkeying with dye molecules, and a couple dabs of soap on your processing drum will totally ruin the developer.
