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

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
