This is purely a wild guess.
I am not at all familiar with this fixer. The only products available
to me locally come from the not so great yellow father...
My wild guess is that if this is a hardening fixer that the higher concentrated
stock solution might have gont straight to hardening before the film was fixed?
Again - just a wild guess...
