These are quotes from Action Electronics silver maker. Why did they stop recommending salt? "We have been told that this method is becoming the preferred method. It produces a high quality colloid of even smaller particles and helps ensure an even longer shelf life for storage."
How many ppm will you get? "Leave on for 10 minutes per 8 oz. will produce a solution of approximately 5 parts per million. You will not see a white haze coming off the electrode as you did if you had previously used the salt solution." They have you make 8 oz. to start with and divide that into 2 oz. proportions and make 4 batches from it. A batch would consist of 2 oz. of starter (old silver mixture) and 6 oz. of hot distilled water. I'm new at this, but between what I learned from my instructions and things I've learned from the list, this is what I'm doing. I'm making 1 1/2 quarts (48 oz) at a time. Happens to be the size of the glass pot I bought. I use 12 oz. of starter and 36 oz distilled water. I bring it to the boiling point. I also leave my batch on the stove on low to keep it warm. I leave it on for about l 1/2 to 2 hours. This is only the 3rd batch I've made. This last batch has a beautiful golden yellow color. I was just thinking that maybe I shouldn't be bringing my starter to boil with the distilled water. It may alter it. Margaret ---------- > From: M. G.
