Nenah, I'm sure a lot of people will argue with me on this, but I asked my husband about Potassium Hydroxide and he won't have it around--too caustic, requires very careful handling.....but then he thinks the same of the 35% peroxide and you did say you use that? So perhaps you are used to being careful.... I plan to keep experimenting with baking soda....... paula ----- Original Message ----- From: Nenah Sylver To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 3:13 PM Subject: CS>question about Potassium Hydroxide
Hi Folks. I called a couple of chemical companies today about Potassium Hydroxide for the CS. Here's what I found out: 1) P.H. is not made as a food grade item. 2) There is one way of making it that is the equivalent of food grade, but they cannot say "for internal consumption" on the label. To those of you who put P.H. in your distilled water before adding the silver electrodes to make your CS, I am wondering: (1) Which grade of P.H. do you use, and (2) how much of a 10% P.H. solution (drops) would you use for about 1 gallon of CS? The company that makes the purer stuff wants to put me through a 2-day screening process, and I don't want to wait. The company selling the cheaper stuff will send it out to me right away. If purity doesn't matter, then I will buy the cheaper stuff.
