Dear Richard,
hmm, I always thought that Sistan was only the
stabiliser and I still need the AGEPON as a
wetting agent? I do not put the hardener in the
fixer. I do not use a special "hardening fixer",
just normal AGEFIX. HEnce I got the extra
hardener by Tetenal and stick it into the last
bath. I thought that in the last bath w/ the
AGEPON it will not get washed out but
And I also thought that the Sistan would react
with the silver to create a more stable compund
and hence it does not matter if the "unused"
Sistan is washed out? Like the fixer?
Sorry, if I sound naive, I am not a chemist,
Ryuji or Richard isn´t even my middle name :-)
So if I am doing something wrong, please let me
know? However my negs seem fine? Even the really
ancient ones (about 30 yrs old now, I just found a lost batch of them).
Love
Snoopy

Do you use a hardening fixer? The
problem with the above is that you are probably
washing out the Sistan. Sistan consists of a
wetting agent and the stabilizer, its meant to be the last bath before drying.
