Ok recent test roll is dry and I had clipped off a couple of inches of leader 
from the film and didn't put it through the rinse at all.   No texture at all 
after it dried.

I have been using this same small size bottle of Edwals LFN for about a year 
and overall I have been using LFN for about 5 years.  My little bottle was 
running out though so 
I bought the large 4 ounce size from freestyle and when I began processing all 
this FP4 I tossed the old bottle and started using the new bottle.
My technique is to put a liter of filtered water in a pyrex glass pan and then 
put 4 to 6 drops in.  Take the film off the stainless steel reel and run it 
back and forth through the rinse for 30 seconds.
I didn't notice until I started testing it that the new bottle of LFN was 
causing a cloudiness in the rinse water.  So I grabbed the old bottle out of 
the trash can and used it for my last test
and the result is that the leader I cut off has no texture, the film rinsed in 
the old bottle has a very slight not noticeable texture and the new bottle 
stuff cause a lot of texture.

So there you go... except that it didn't happen when I used Xtol... 

Time for that beer I guess
