Reducing Film Contrast During Development

Oh! Sloppy test shots caused me to rate my tech Pan 120 film at ISO32. Now I realise this is going to give me too high contrast for my subject (high contrast anyhow to start with). I've run another Tech Pan film off and done some dev testing with a two stepper (emofin) but still too high contrast. I'd like to know how effective a water bath would be with this developer and weather I'd get any blotching occurring. Or would you expect Technidol to be the only way forward. Then again anybody tried a water bath with Technidol? If anybody could help me with a visualisation here: if you had one neg developed 'normally' and one in Technidol what would the contrast difference be if likened to that of b/w paper contrast grades? 5 -to 00 or just 2 to 3? Get the idea? Oh why didn't I shoot more films off...remember people film is cheap. Damn! :o( Bri
