Default Short times

If the kit suggests 45 seconds for the bleach fix This is hardly long enough for the bleach to neutralise the left over developer never mind bleach the unused emulsion away.

Even using a stop bath with continuous agitation for films to neutralise developer the recommended time is 30 seconds. To be honest I feel the times are suspect.

I wonder if there has been something missed in the translation?
