Hi Susie,
I guess you intended to reply to the group, but ended up sending me
an email. There appears to be nothing personal in your message, so I
will respond to it here, as well as your reply to Robb.

A soft black coat that wipes off easily is silver oxide. A small
amount is no concern, but if you start getting black spots under the
electrodes, something is wrong.
A clear gray color is plain silver. This is good, but it may
indicate you are not reaching the highest ppm possible. There may be
just a trace of black oxide on the anode at the end of the brew, and
the cathode may be completely clear, or may have a bit of spanish
moss on the bottom. This is composed of silver ions that managed to
make it all the way to the cathode, and are encasing hydrogen
bubbles that form at the cathode.
Thanks to sol for the beautifully descriptive term "spanish moss":)

Please be picky - you really have to be on your toes to get
consistently good cs.

H2O2 is not needed at all if the cs is made properly.

That definitely is not normal. I really think there is something
wrong with the dw.

Maybe you need a little bigger machine? Or try taking 1 oz
sublingually as described in a related post:

I would recommend not adding H2O2. If the cs is made properly and
the dw is good, the cs is mainly ionic and H2O2 would have no
effect and is not needed, except for diagnostic purposes.
You should be able to reach 20 to 22 ppm ionic on the Silverpuppy
without any problems, and it should remain clear indefinitely. If
you push it much higher by brewing longer, you may start noticing a
pale straw color after a few days or weeks. If you really push it,
you might notice a yellow tint before you stop the brew.
The H2O2 will turn the solution clear, but if you check the Tyndall,
you may notice a strong beam even with clear cs. This indicates
plenty of oxides remain despite the action of the H2O2.
The oxides are inert and have no biological activity, so it is best
if your process does not produce them. But a bright yellow flash
turning to milky cs after adding H2O2 is definitely not normal.
Sol has information on getting higher ppm with the Silverpuppy, and
I really wish she would tell us how she does it.... (hint, hint:)
Best Wishes,
Mike Monett
