That's a good question. My assumption is that staining is
noticeable in the final wash … which made my assumption to them not
being fixed properly.
>You didn't mention toning -- are you toning? If so, with what? Before

No toning at all
>What are you fixing with?
Sod. Thiosulfate in a dilute solution. Hmmm, how dilute I ask.
>How are you drying?
Hair dryer … you know, electyical heat

The salting bath is OFTEN (but not always) floated. Some students
brush it on. The Silver Nitrate solution is ALWAYS brushed on.
Thanks in advance to all the Alt. Crew
