Twenty threads merged and stuck.

We've decided to start combining threads dealing with frequently asked questions and making them sticky, and I think this is about one of the most frequently asked questions we've got. And that doesn't count threads about films with a blue tint that doesn't come out.

The short answer--

Fix adequately, use a hypo clearing agent, sulfite or Permawash, and wash adequately.

The dye doesn't come out entirely in the fix, but an alkaline fix will do better than an acid fix.
