hi andy

i just process them as if they are film or paper .. i've some i coated and processed this way from 1986
and they look fine. i haven't ever done residual chemistry tests on them so it is just by visual inspection.
so it is dev-water rinse-hardened fix-rinse-fixer remover-wash ( runing water, fill + dump at least 20 times )
i dont' use hardener in anything besides liquid or hand made emulsion...
ymmv
