Use a hypo clearing agent. If you have to make a mistake, using concentrated fixer is far better than using fixer that is too dilute or worn out. Fixing removes unexposed silver halide crystals from the film, unaffected by the developer. Once fixer has removed them, continued fixing essentially has no effect. That's why they suggest to fix for about twice as long as it takes to visibly clear the film, just to be on the safe side. Relax. Everything will be just fine. - -GH
