Heico Perma Wash is a mixture of ammonium sulfite and sodium sulfite, and
should work about as well as a plain sodium sulfite solution. In my
experience, the plain sulfite solution is not as effective as Kodak Hypo
Clear. Since switching from Gallery 100 to Platine (finnicky- not a
switch I'm thrilled with) I've changed my clearing procedure to two baths
of 0.3% HCl, rinse, then a trip through the Kodak Hypo Clear.
Hope this helps.
