Thanks guys.
My worry too has been as you and Gerald have pointed out. If I had no chance
to
re-print then I'd be tempted to chance it or try HE-1 but I have no formalin
for
the last step and instructions also mention HE-1 is to be used after toning so
it would just be better all 'round to reprint while the enlarger is still set
up
for these negs. Dang fiber has gotten so expensive!
I think too that Ken's point of no evident change to prints in many years under
similar treatment has value. But given the responsibility I have to produce as
archival a print as I can for this HABS/HAER job, I think his method bears note
and validity, but not for this particular situation.
Eric

Hi,
I agree that the fixer may be in the paper fibers and hard to remove now.
Maybe try Kodak's old HE-1? It's not recommended today. It removes
all the hypo, which is not used archivally anymore. Maybe use that and refix
even? Best, Rich
