Mysterious Black Silt, or Residue in Fixer Tray is also Staining Prints
"tipscommissar" wrote
cloudy black silt in the fixer that leaves sooty stains on the prints. I have had that happen in a Nalgene bottle that held working fix. After a while the bottle formed a grey coating on the inside that would precipitate the silver from the fix. The fix (pardon the pun) was to throw out the bottle. There wasn't any cleaning or bleaching operation that had any effect on the bottle's precipitative powers. I would try using brand new jugs/bottles, new trays and new tongs. -- Nicholas O.
