I was amused to see that I am not the only one who boldly uses knee high
stockings in the kitchen.

I also am new to CS.  A friend told me about it last week and showed me what
I needed to make the stuff.

I went home and cut the jack end off my 24V dead cordless phone AC/DC
adaptor (I just read someone else has done the same ­ and I always feel so
original, ha!) separated the wires and put them on the alligator clips with
silver wire that my friend gave me into the jar of distilled water ­ and let
Œer rip!    Well, this was all after spending a couple of days reading
through all the old posts on this board and the Yahoo one and after
sterilizing the jar other tools used in the process.

In the first batch I added a pinch of sea salt and could easily see the
white wisps sluffing off the wire.   I could see little bubbles rising off
the other wire.  From all that I had read, this confirmed the production of
CS.  

I threw the first batch out (down the drain instead of on my plants as I had
intended to do, drat!) and made another.  The solution is very clear and
there is no solid matter in the water that I can see.

Is this going to give me an effective CS solution?  Is there anything I need
to be concerned about?

I know that many of you treat this as a highly evolved science which I am
not capable of understanding so I just thought I would run this by you and
see what kind of feedback ensues.

Thank you for all the information ­ I enjoy reading it all even when I can¹t
understand the technical parts.  I think if I keep reading it long enough
maybe I will gain some understanding through absorption.  Works with other
things.

Health and happiness...
