(Catching breath) Right: the EIS was two days old, but it did go white murky after adding the single drop of 35% HP. Then it went clear after adding another drop of 35% HP. The 'ppm' was then 10 when before it was eight. I don't mind as long as I still have some silver left! Thanks for the reply. dee
