Hi All,
last week I posted a question about the mix of Sodium Thiosulfate "Plain Fixer" to water to make a plain fixer. I had planned to use it, with the addition of sodium bisulfite in fix one, as a two step fix process.

I mixed 16oz of the Sodium Thiosulfate to 2 liters of water at around 90'. It really did not want to dissolve and eventually did dissolve but I ended up with a very thick liquid that had a greasy feel to it. I did not want to chance a print in it so I swapped back to reqular rapid fixer for the rest of the session with no issues.

Did i mix this wrong? I bought regular Sodium Thiosulfate from e bay listed as for photography. Was the mix i listed above for the concentrate and should I make a working solution from that?

Should I give all of this up and admit defeat?

thanks
david
