----- Original Message ----- From: Alan Abbott Subject: Film not fully fixed- help
You are a bit vague about whether you failed to use enough solution to cover the film, or if the solution was not robust enough to do the job. Either way, just refix the film in fresh fixer, and rewash it. You could just refix it in a tray of fixer. William Robb This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
