At last, someone with a clue came along and put it all into one string on the same page. ..now to go fish my boot out of the mud hole I was standing in. :-)
Together with previous post, it expains why only the fresh CS that hasn't formed all its particles yet reacts violently with the peroxide. The water gets very milky looking with a quick release of oxygen making an unstable emulsion that outgasses and clears up some as only the silver particles are left suspended and ionic conductivity goes down due to there being fewer ions in solution. Now if you could touch on what's going on when peroxide clears the color out of CS that already formed its particles, I think we'd have a fairly complete story. [I believe the particles get broken up...just not sure how] So far as making huge shiny metalflakes when using peroxide during the 'process'... I think maybe I won't do that anymore. Why they turned into black oxide balls after sitting on a South facing windowsill for a year...could be that UV light for a whole lot of time.
