I have made my own in the past ( George Schoyen’s formula) when I was still a working pharmacist in some really old time small town drugstores.. I have been using LMF for a
number of years and am extremely pleased with the consistent results ( I use a Bivins style browning box.)
I,have tried others, but could not get the consistent , deep brown that I can get with the LMF. Note……prep of the parts must be thorough……no residual oils ( including greasy finger residues !!!). Handle with clean paper towels .
