I am not familiar with CPE 2 paper tube, but isn't it a usual design that
when you pour in the chemical, the chemical doesn't touch the paper (or film)
until you flip the tube and start the rotation?

Can you just use the weak solution and process longer to the same contrast?
If the dilution is not too extreme (1+1 is not considered extreme), you can
basically get the same curve shape (except possible slight raise of the toe).
