I only use the platinum #3 solution for toning, which I think is a
mixture of palladium and platinum. It is fairly expensive.

What I use is a 3% sodium sulfite solution, followed by a wash of
about 15 minutes.The sodium sulfite does not eliminate the hypo but
converts it into something that does not react with the silver. Or at
least that is what I read somewhere by someone who should know and
that is why I use it. I understand that Kodak Hypo Clear is of
similar composition?
