it's more a case of loosing the last zone of highlights visible in the print, these seem to get sacrificed during the bleach and tone process. I rarely bleach up to the mid-tones.

For FB paper I find it needs between 5 and 10mins of continuous washing under running water. 20c water seems to be more effective than mains tap temperature.

Just bumping this up. It's a MF 6x6 enlarger in good condition. Just looking for a reasonable price for it and want it to get some use. Sadly I don't have space for 2 enlargers in my darkroom.

Indeed it is - but it seems the effects of fogging take around a year to appear. I read this elsewhere and it does match what I'm seeing too. SO i could import 6 months supply at a time.
