So if you are going to get pin holing _after processing_, from where would the carbonate come? Would there be any left after the film was in the stop bath and the (usually) acid fixing bath? It seems to me that unless you are using an alkaline processing technique, you should be safe to put a little acid in a post hypo-clear rinse if you think it is necessary to clear hardness from the film.
Ah, sorry, I was referring to it only in the context as a stop bath. I acknowledge that the pinholing risk even there is small these days, I just don't feel like recalibrating my workflow. In a running water stop, development continues briefly, whereas it pretty much stops immediately in contact with an acid stop bath. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
