Hi John, I agree with Ken that stirring does help.
I did use stirring with a small motor for a while. However, since I have tried a bubbler, which I still do use, I prefer the bubbler instead of the small motor and my CS seems to be better. However, I have to get me CS retested to ensure that this is correct. One of the other important item is to keep a low current (controlled current). I try to never exceed 1mA. I feel that it does help to produce a clear CS. I have used higher current before and I suspect that one of the factors that also caused the CS to turn slightly yellow was this high current. One of the other factor that does not seem to be emphasized enough is to keep all CS containers and equipment very clean. I use distilled water to rinse them several times prior to use. This is mostly important, otherwise CS can be contaminated.
