EFKE Infrared developed with Tmax

<p>I just developed my first roll of EFKE Infrared film and when i took it out of the wash it was VERY VERY slimy. I've never experienced anything like this. I'm not sure if I should put it in a longer fix ( I fixed it for 5 min) or maybe a longer wash (also 5 min) or should i Just let it dry and hope that it works it self out? Any help would be great thank you.</p>

<p>Derek, I think with Efke, you want to use a hardener with your fixer, but it shouldn't be slimy. How did you handle/process the film after you fixed it? Hypo? PhotoFlo? Wash?</p>

<p>5 min wash? I would think 25 to 40 mins more appropriate. <br>

Also, perhaps someone with more experience can expand on this but I'm throwing it out there based on my experience with Maco which if I am not mistaken is very similar. <br>

Maco had a blue anti-halation layer that one would wash off prior to adding developer. The water would litterally run blue when I would pour it out of the tank. It is very much like the simple pre soak, and you will want to make sure that straight water halation layer/presoak water is 68 F or at least the same temp as your developer. <br>

Anyone else?</p>
