Hi Jorge, I don't use #2 FO. I've read about the fogging. Maybe that's the problem. But somewhere it doesn't add up. My earlier test without water rinse in between developer & clearing bath as instructed by Clay, cleared effectively. Hm...

I hate to tell you this but this is the nature of the beast. There for a while I was getting this awful gray tone where the negative was masked, it would not clear and it was clearly fog, although I could never determine where it came from. Try with a single drop of #2 and see if it goes away.
