If it takes 4 minutes for it to clear than you give it another 4 on top of that and you're done. Its indicating an 8 minute fixing time total. Then I like to run it for a few minutes in a b fix just like in printing. A fresher fix. Which gets the Kodak pink out out out if that's the film your using. But makes me feel better anyway regardless of film. Over fixing is bad. But its supposedly much harder to over fix the newer tab grain films. We hope the funny black haze was not her aura. Or worse. Just the heartbreak of funny black haze. Selsun blue might not work.
