Sepia/ Selenium washing times

[Gary Holliday]

I'm planning on split toning some Forte PWT FB with Sepia and the older Kodak Selenium toner. I need some advice with the wash times during the process.

Partial Bleach 1+9
Wash (running water)
Sepia

Selenium
HCA 10 mins

Thanks

After the bleach - just a bit longer than the removal of the last traces of the bleach about 5 mins, after the Sepia toner - another 5 minutes. Final wash as normal for FB prints, I prefer to give about an hour.

I use pretty much the same timings as Ian, and I use a white tray for washing after the bleach. Because even very dilute bleach has a noticeable colour, the white makes it easy to see when the wash water is clean.

That sounds about right, I had read times of one minute with a very short final wash which I thought was strange but thanks!

Print size makes a difference, I can wash all the bleach of a 10x8 far quicker than from a 12x16 or larger.
