I have no idea what the precipitate is, but it looks kind of like little flakes. I tried soaking the negs in distilled water, and also refixing, and neither worked. Is there something else I can try? I remember reading that sodium carbonate is used for de-hardening prints. Assuming the precipitate is related to the hardener, could that possibly work? Thanks for any suggestions,
