Striking effect. I wonder what happened.

Did you squeegie the film by hand? The streaks look kind of like when I shot a roll of decades-old FP4 and managed to scratch some of the emulsion off whilst squeegieing. For example, here: http://www.indofunkstudios.com/images/minolta_srt102/2014_08_27_fp4/20140827-05-orig.jpg (http://www.indofunkstudios.com/images/minolta_srt102/2014_08_27_fp4/20140827-05-orig.jpg)
Also, I didn't even realize that a dilution as strong as dilution B could be used to stand develop. I usually stand develop at 1:100.
Finally, or rather foremost, I like the images and the effect :)

I'd try it again to see if I could replicate the result! :)

I try to describe the process: after the 'strange' developing/stopbath/fix I saw there was still a greyish layer on the film, I try to remove this with 100% fix rinse, didn't work. half hour water rinse, bath with anti-dry spots(????) dry, negs still opaque. After some weeks give it another try; another rinse with WARM water and treatment with 'cleaning pads' from the missus and then the 'emulsion' partially solved with this result :) it looks like an 'aquatint' from my etching days. Don't have a wet darkroom yet but love to see a big print from this. The thing I don't understand is the developing part; did this before with a clear neg as a result(try to find it) when I 'master' this process I would like to try it on 9x12 format so I can use ear-tip or smaller pieces to treat the film surface.
thanks for looking
