Thanks Loris for the comment.
Yes, bleaching seems strange to me, even on double
toned print (selenium and gold) I get bleaching in first 10 to 20 seconds
of fixing, then stops (but density is getting back at drying).
By the way, I used concentration and length from
the articles on UnblinkingEye. I will try your suggestion.

Loris.
P.S.
I won't leave gold or Pt/Pd toning in favour of selenium-toning, in any
circumstance... ;)
