I've run into some unexpected problems toning with KRST. ...
I diluted the selenium 1:9 in distilled water as is my habit.
By the time I had the second sheet of Kentmere in the toner,
the toner started turning brown and by the fifth sheet, the
toner looked like liquid fudge
This sounds very odd. I have had very small amounts of
a black flaky precipitate form in the bottle but nothing
like you describe.
I did have something like this happen once - though it
wasn't with KRST. I had added alcohol and ammonia to a
jug of distilled water to make window cleaner. Then,
of course, forget what was in the jug and used it as
distilled water for making up chemistry. I couldn't
figure out what was going wrong ...
Could you be using spent fixer instead of distilled
water? The silver in the old fix will go a deep
red-brown color by the action of the KRST.
