Hm, well I understand that iodine is an oxidizer, maybe that why the clearing effect? If you had added ascorbic acid, I wonder if it would have cleared it up too. DMSO is a solvent, so maybe it dissolved some of the plastic into your solution. I read on the labels of the DMSO jars now "safe for DMSO storage" or something like that.

Hi folks, at last a silver-related question <lol>!  I put some 20ppm CS in a 
plastic pot along with about 25% DMSO which after a few hours turned almost black.  
This I assumed was because there was something in the plastic pot that I had not 
quite got out--I am always putting different stuff in these pots!  I then put in a 
couple of drops of nascent iodine which normally doesn't colour the water (like 
Lugols does) and within hours it had almost completely cleared!  Can any of you 
brainy folks out there explain this?  dee
