Good question, Nina! I'm sure for a lot of folks it's just the way they learned and they don't know why, for sure. Using a consistent spacing and allignment allows for more repeatable results and keeping the electrodes away from the glass prevents silver plating out on those surfaces. Of course, if it plates out on the glass, it's not in the CS, plus having a lot of stray metal around may effect the electric field and flow of current in the cell. There's probably not anything wrong with what you're doing, and if your CS works you *know* that. Be well, Mike D.
