Bleach and re-fix - archival?

[mrtoml]

I like the look of some of my prints when I overexpose them a little and then bleach in ferri to get that straw antique looking effect. If i refix rather than tone at this stage, is the print going to last very long? Presumably this isn't an archival process

If it's re-fixed and washed properly it will just as archival as a normal un-bleached print.

Thanks, Ian. That's good to know.
