Do the final rinse with distilled water.

Thanks! Yes, I do, as tap water would defeat all those efforts. L On Apr 5, 2013, at 5:26 AM, Ode Coyote wrote: Do the final rinse with distilled water.

Re: CSHow to clean jars for silver making
To clean the jar: Different people have their methods. One thing you should never do is use any kind of soap or cleaner on the jar. I find that putting some drug store hydrogen peroxide in the jar, putting on a waterproof canning jar top, and shaking vigorously pretty much cleans the jar, after which you should rinse with some distilled water. If your jar is turning yellow or you get yellow CS or plating out, you probably have impurities in the water from either the electrodes (don’t ever touch them with your hands, and if you do clean with hydrogen peroxide) or because your setting is too high and you are making the silver too strong.

Re: CSHow to clean jars for silver making
After about 6 weeks I clean out my beakers with the distilled white Vinegar, then scrub with hydrogenPeroxide, then super rinse with distilled water and dry. This usually cleans out anything that has shown up--normally spots of silver.

RE: CSHow to clean jars for silver making
I've been using the same jars for years and *never* wash or rinse them out with anything ~ at any time. All I have ever done is wipe them out with a paper towel to remove any remaining drops of EIS which is left in the vessels before putting them away as and when I alternate with other vessels, and I check the paper for any discolouration other than the discolouration of the paper being wet. As has already been said, never use soaps/detergents/mains water or anything else to rinse the jars out. DW would be the only thing I would rinse them out with ~ if I ever decided to rinse them out at all g. I find it rather perplexing that some people have issues when producing their EIS? I'd say it's gotta be something you are doing. It'll probly be something so incidental that you haven't thought of it. Keep vessels clean, electrodes clean (this is of utmost importance, and that includes oils and anything else which may be on your fingers), stirring if you brew by volume, don't try to brew excessive ppm, quality of DW, if you reside in an area where air pollution may be evident use a cover over vessel whilst brewing if possible, smoke from an open fireplace will probly affect it...and the list goes on g.
