Are you using a wetting agent, like Kodak’s Photo-Flo?
After fixing, I rinse under the sink/faucet for a minute, then use Hypo-Clear (for ~2 minutes) which then enables me to wash for 5 minutes (vs 20 minutes without the Hypo Clear). I then empty the water and pour some clean water in the tank with a little cap-full of Photo-Flo and agitate (using the swizzle stick) the reels for a minute. Then I hang the negatives up and squeegee with a sponge type squeegee. I dip the squeegee in the same Photo-Flo mixture and squeegee the negs once or twice...and that’s it! I let them hang to dry.
Note: When I develop Color Negatives (C41), I don’t use the Photo-Flo. The stabilizer in the C41 kit is the last step right prior to hanging the negs to dry. No need for anything else as the stabilizer has a quick dry without the water residue/marking property to it.
Edit: Photo-Flo (not Photo-Flow)
Edit Edit: Forgot to mention the Perma-wash, which allows me to wash for 5 minutes.
