Can anyone tell me how to make the "Bleach" liquid?

And all the other stuff you can tell me about it?

What kind of bleach are you refering to? There are a number of different bleaches used in black and white photography which are very different than those used in color processing.

I think you are asking liquid bleech in b&w photography. Make potasium fericyanide 25gm in 1000 cc normal water,then mix hypo 300gm in the solution -this is your stock solution. When you use take 1:2(camichel+water).This you can use in sepia toning. If your B&W prints in some area is dark you can bleach it - take a tea spun potasium fericyanide in 50ml water then give a tea spun hypo in it- mix it,then use cotton to bleach the darken area.

For film bleaching use kodak recomendad film intensifier.
