Re: CS>silver gel
I don't know if this would work for your product, but it may be worth experimenting with lecithin. Dan http://www.adm.com/en-US/products/Documents/ADM-Europe-Lecithin-for-Emulsification.pdf "As an emulsifier, soya bean lecithin is used in food applications as an aerating agent, viscosity modifier, dispersant and lubricant. Typically, an emulsion is a suspension of small droplets of one liquid in another liquid with which it is incapable of mixing. Oil-inwater (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) are the two primary types of emulsions. Lecithin’s molecular structure makes it an effective emulsifier for the interaction of water and oil. Phospholipids, the major component of lecithin, are partly hydrophilic (attracted to water) and partly hydrophobic (repelled from water). It is lecithin’s ability to simultaneously interact with both oil and water that makes it such an effective and stable emulsifier. When introduced into a system, an emulsifier such as lecithin acts to help maintain a stable emulsion between two unmixable liquids. The emulsifier decreases the surface tension between the two liquids and allows them to mix and form a stable, heterogeneous dispersion."

Re: CS>silver gel
I learned a few years ago that we don't need to use PPM when making our CS. Especially when using high DC voltage. All the CS that we all make has nano-sized particles in it. This is the reason why CS works so well on or in any surface! The way I made mine and found out that I've got good, stable CS is by "brewing" a batch until it started turning yellow, timing it. I used this "yellow" CS as a great disinfectant. I never throw out CS! I then made a new batch and cut back the time a few minutes and now I have a nice, clear product. PPMs can be important to some but not to all! P.S. I use a multimeter to measure my DC voltage to my silver electrodes to ensure conductivity!

Re: CS>silver gel
One has to (slowly at very low heat) "boil" the beeswax, oil and CS. Beeswax is a natural emulsifier. If you don't "emulsify" them together you will have nothing but globs. Whipping (I use a hand mixer), while still hot, the final product forces ingredients to "bind". No powders are needed if you do this correctly.
