It is rudimentary, and could be expedient in an emergency or survival situation. It is perfectly okay for topical applications and household use. The Colloidal Silver produced is of larger particle size than most experienced researchers are comfortable with these days. This could create a problem with long term use of larger quantities, as there may be a greater chance of argyria. However, no cases of argyria are known even from this cruder product that was popular early on in the modern re-discovery of CS. > I'm sure Jolly has good intentions but there's another problem. > Placing the electrodes that close together is an invitation for > treeing or agglomeration. Not in the salt-accelerated process, which is overwith so fast that no treeing will have a chance to happen. Using no salt, the electrodes should be further apart, yes. > I'm sure a laser pointer test will show you have large particles. > There will probably be "sparklers" in it.
