Not enough information here, I'm afraid.
Was the exposure at 400 ISO a mistake?
Do you mean D-76 developer?
Do you mean true solarization of the film (partial reversal of the image), or the Sabattier effect in the print (an outlined appearance)?
BTW, I think your question-mark key must be sticking.

I have a lengthy article on Print Solarization on my site at http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Solarization/solarization.html . This is a much more controllable technique than film solarization, though the principle is essentially the same--they are both variations of the Sabatier effect.
