About a month ago I did almost the same thing,except for the headache.Mine
was a small emergency.
Then I finally remembered, the batch [2 US quarts]had run about 10 hours
over ,and it looked OK until I put a few drops of 35% H2O2 in it ,then it
went the same milky white .I've let some of it sit, and now it is gradually
clearing,some slight sedimentation occuring.
What did I make?
I don't have any meter to test with,yet.
This is the first time this has happened to me.

Subject: CS>Forst batch failure
TO: Old hand CS-ers and Chemistry types;
First, the history:
I make 2gal.+ batches using 1ma DC and 60" of wetted #14, .999 silver
wire. I normally stop when I get about 20ppm on the PWT.
This time I stopped at 15 because I didn't want to let run overnight.
The next morning I restarted the batch. So far so good. But then, I
developed a splitting headache and completely forgot the batch.
I remembered it eight hours later. It was over 25 on the PWT., it was
clear with a hint of yellow, had a fine tyndel with a few sparkles.
NOW THE KICKER:
I thought to add H2O2 to create mostly ionic silver. But when I added 1oz
of H2O2, the batch turned a milky gray-white.
Did I use too much H2O2? and what did I make? (other than a mess).
TIA;
Bruce A.
