Hi Dick, The shop is open but we are all having tea at the back :-) Thanks for ringing the bell.
That is usually caused by contamination. It could be the distilled water , or the container that you made the CS in or the rods got soap or detergent on them , or the bubbler tube may also have been soapy or dusty. or copper from the cables or nickel from crocodile clips; that sort of thing. Yellow is not too bad in my opimion, and I'll use it just like that, or dilute it and use it, or take smaller amounts. Some people add a tiny amount of H2O2 to clear the CS. You could maybe go to the archives and do some searching there for the method. Last time I went to it it was : http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html Do you use any form of current control? What form of silver are you using? rods or coins? What area of silver is in the water. It should be less than 1mA per square inch of the electrode that is being stripped of silver. If the water temperature is warmer then the silver particles will probably be larger due to agglomeration, and you may get a colouration OK, Tony On 3 Jun 2010 at 11:33, Dick Rochon wrote about : Subject : CS>Dark CS? > > Hi, > > About a month ago I made CS with 1 gallon of distilled water, .9999 > silver > wire, 30 volts DC, and an aquarium bubbler, with 1/2 cup previously made > CS > (made the same way).
