Does it not need to be developed first to see if it has fogged?

I remember Acupan 800, always found it flat and grainy.

Quite right Steve. I wasn't thinking straight. If you go straight to fix then it will show nothing about the paper's possible fogging.

Sorry OP if you carry out the test then develop first then fix
