"Try putting a little borax into the developer. 5Mule team is as good as any. I'm not sure how much or what it's going to do to the developer time. I't start with a tablespoon of borax in a pint of developer and go from there."
I think you mean KBr, Potassium Bromide, don't you? Borate is an acelerator which will increase the fog level. Bromide is a restrainer which will help reduce the fog level. It doesn't take much, maybe 2 or 3 grams per liter. Otherwise, developing a couple rolls of fogged film in the diluted solution first will put a little KBr in the solution and cut the edge so to speak. We used to hot soup Plus-X and Tri-X in Dektol for 30 sec at 80*F, fix, rinse, and wet print back in the Navy days for RUSH assignments (ie, the ones for the Admirals wife!)
