Robb > Robb: The Biggest danger, by far, in using a stainless steel container as one of the electrodes is having incorrect polarity. The positive lead goes to the silver (you want to OXIDIZE SILVER METAL, i.e., remove electrons from metallic silver to make ionic silver), and the NEGATIVE lead goes to the staonless steel. THROW OUT any batch that DOES NOT conform to this polarity. Roger
