Hi Ted,
Well what I actually meant to say was it could plate out on the sides of
the vessel if the electrodes lay against the glass or are near it. It has
sometimes caused me a bit of confusion when the CS wasn't as strong as I
had thought it should be. I really don't know about the conductivity of
the stuff that falls to the bottom of the vessel. Our electrodes are an
inch or so off the bottom so plating doesn't occur there very often. It is
mostly on the sides and for sure that can influence current flow.
As far as the vessel you're using, it might be that no plating occurs
because of its smoothness or something I'm not aware of. But it will
definitely plate onto glass. I have seen it many times. Usually under
long process times.

pot for the past four years, the meter I use for testing PPM shows between
