Justa reminder.....if you do any toning that involves bleaching and toning like the normal sepia methods it is recommended that you fix and harden the prints afterwards.

This should not be necessary for indirect toning since sulfide bath should convert all the rehalogenated silver to silver sulfide. I think the some old instructions suggested this for hardening rather than fixing. Some indirect toners can produce some silver halide which should be removed by subsequent fixing. Nelson's Gold Toner is an example.
Note that when a sulfide "second developer" is used for reversal that no final fixing step is required.
