Mine are further than that. > And maybe another one, why a specific distance ? Well, as far as I know your process is quite different. You use 50v and no current control ; I use 9 volts with current control. The lower voltage requires a closer electrode seperation. I arrived at that 'cos that was the distance of the clamps I used. A long time ago I used to use 27 volts and when I changed to 9 volts, for several reasons, I found that the rods had to be closer together or the process takes 'forever' to start. Also I used to work in a plating shop so have this technology under my skin. The book 'Silver Plating' has several parameters to this too, so I got it from reading as well as much experimenting. Also in the past Old Bob, Ode, Marshall, Ivan and others discussed electrode seperation at length, among other things. > > Wayne > ================= Tony -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
