Response to Acetic acid as stop bath

from Ed Buffaloe (edbuffaloe@earthlink.net)
To round this out, I recommend a water rinse followed by a brief bath in 2% acetic acid. Going direct from the very alkaline developer to the very acid stop can sometimes cause pinholes. The water bath prevents this, and the stop bath in turn prevents the fixer from becoming too alkaline to do its job.
