Sorry Kent, I got your name wrong on the last post,
but thanks Kirk for replying also:)
I didnt know that about the differant fixer strengths
for paper vs film.
Thanks for also answering about contaminating.
I thought I might be risking something there along the
line.

Brian:
No problem.
The dilutions for fixer (and all photographic chemicals) is usually printed on the container or an instruction sheet that comes with the fixer.
I use Kodak Rapid Fix, which is a concentrated liquid and a hardner, and the dilutions are on an enclosed sheet. By the way, some fixers come with a small bottle of hardner, which is added to the fixer to harden the film emulsion and make it more damage resistent. You can elect to use it or not use it. I always use it at the suggested dilution.
