I don't remove all of it. Just what will wipe off. My batches come out
clear with no floaters or sinkers. Someone else stated this on the list,
that it is not imperative to make them shine, just remove the loose
stuff.

Don't use paper towels, they have too much lint. Just wipe with tissue
and don't worry about making them shine. You just need to remove the
loose stuff.

A pencil eraser works good on copper.

I don't even think it's neccessary to scrub the surface clean, just wipe really well, maybe polish a little...get the loose stuff off.
Yes, IMO rough is good.

I tend to look at it like making rock candy.
You have a satuaration point at a given temperature.
When the saturation point is exceeded, you get crystal formation.
Crystals like to form around impurities and tend to get bigger and bigger when they do. [The string hanging in the jar of cooling
That's normal and unavoidable on one electrode, less common on both.
What sort of generator are you using?

Hi, Ode,
Thanks for your insights. Are you saying that a
fresh, satiny surface is better because it has
more points as well as more surface area than
a freshly minted, smooth surface?
Best regards,

Detailing brushes with nylon and brass

A fairly new material, polyamide microfiber, may work well. I am
eager to try it.It works very well on many surfaces but I have yet
to try it on electrodes. Home experimenters? The material is sold
widely; I got mine at Costco.

It doesn't matter.
A piece of denim works quite well.
The paper towel alone is sufficient.
It's not even neccesary to make the electrodes shine.
