I seem to be getting shiny flakes of what looks like silver floating around in my fixer. For the fixer I use for film, I use TF4, and the flakes are about 1/8", and for paper I use Clayton AFC Archival Fixer, and it takes the form of a black, granular residue on the bottom of the bottle or tray. I use distilled water, and (generally) a running water stop instead of a stop bath. I think it's odd. The folks at the camera store where I take my fixer have pointed out the residue or flakes, so I have to get this figured out before I can take some there again for recycling.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
