Try fixing in full strength C-41 fixer. This was reported by a retired Kodak
engineer as a method to reticulate film. Modern film emulsions (not
including former east block films like Efke) are extremely hardened compared
to films of old. You may also wish to immerse the film in high temp water
for a few seconds followed by an ice bath.

Or just scan and use the film reticulation filter in PS or one of the other
dozens of plugins that produce this effect.

Or look in Christina Z. Anderson's book for experimental techniques, she has
something in there for reticulation.

If one did want to exaggerate silver clumping or reticulation, how would one
go about it? Nominal temperature developer to hot stop bath (acidic) or a
hot water stop set up?

I came across a beautifully reticulated 35mm negative (on HP5 +) a student
had left in the darkroom at school and I want to re-create the effect.
