If left alone and the structure is not so dense as to be very stable,
the grey fuzzies will emit a particle cloud identical to the so called "ion
cloud" that formed them as the hydrogen bubbles on which they formed ,
dissipate.
If the particles are closely packed on the surface tension of the bubble,
the hydrogen bubble can disperse and leave the structure intact.
Wiping off the electrodes whenever a deposit seems to be getting heavy is
a good way to prevent the buildup. At some point in the process, they'll
stop forming.
I've found that NOT scubbing the electrodes between batches...just wiping
them off...helps quite a bit.
This could be due to the pitting of the electrode increasing its
available surface area or creating many small ion discharge points that
help the silver evade the bubbles.
Don't shine up the electrodes and see what happens.
A really good way to observe all this happening is to use a round
optically clear container lit from the bottom so as to eliminate
reflections. It's almost like looking through a microscope.

Hi all,
Occasionally I have this same problem with this stringy floating gray
whatever. I don't wash the quart jar which I make the Cs in. It only happens
on occasion. I thought it might be because I didn't clean the electrodes
enough after the last batch. But this last time, I thoroughly cleaned the
electrodes with a kitchen cloth towel, and still got the sludge. It does
dissipate in a day or so, but I'd just as soon not have it in my CS. I
surely would like to know just what it is.
