The actual thickness of the wire is not real important, but 14 gage AWG is about 0.064 inches or a bit less than 2 mm. One very helpful pointer is when using distilled water at room temperature, which unfortunately does not conduct electricity, I found out that 'seeding' the mix with 1/4 old yellow colloid will start the reaction and speed the formation of the new batch. Do not use salt or "sea-salt" or 'Lite-salt' to speed the process because the salts combine with the silver and you don't have pure silver colloid. Be sure to remove and wipe off the silver electrodes if they become black while processing. The best colloid is yellow to light-yellow in color. To check the strength of solution, use an ohmmeter to check the resistance of the solution. (I remove the silver wires and keep the metal part of the probes immersed with the probes held together, I measure 25-30 k Ohms. Results may vary with your meter.) You may wish to calibrate your meter with known strength solution if you can find it. I hope this is helpful. Dan Smith -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
