Mark, adding oxalic acid to the FO will shorten the exposure time. I tested this years ago, and it is increases the light sensitivity of the coating solution. And slightly increases its exposure scale. And makes it easier to clear. No downside to adding it that I was ever able to detect. My formula is 27g FO, 4g oxalic acid, 2g EDTA to make 100ml. I think this is a pretty standard mix.
