Hi Ya'all, Yes, Chuck, I enjoy your witticisms, but this is about longetivity of CS.
The storage of my CS samples is at 68 deg. F. in my basement. They are in clear 1/2 and 2 liter cola bottles, and they were all made using constant voltage and mechanical stirring. I treid to keep the cut off current to a maximum 0.003 ma per square inch of wet positive electrode. I have 39 samples on hand and only two have gone to light yellow and one was made on 9/14/99 with a 27 ppm as measured with my spectrophotometer. I had another go cloudy with a slight yellow color, it had a ppm of 44 made on 11/20/99. A few of the bottles are full. Most are partly empty. Just added data to the general pool of knowledge Ode Coyote wrote: > I just looked at 10 samples over a year old stored hap hazardly in the > living room in a basket of samples.
