Many silver 'compounds' are light sensitive and when you mix CS with other things, some of those compounds can be made.

Heat over around 120 deg F can cause agglomeration before the CS has stabilized and as it's being made...never seen it happen afterwards.
Reducing water volume can do that.
Freezing CS appears to concentrate something grey towards the center of the ice block. [Various particulates] Low temperatures will tend to precipitate things out of solution as that lowers the saturation point of the water. The center of an ice cube freezes last.

hello david,


thanks much for sharing your concoction elements. looks like it would really be a useful mix.


one question only - you mention that cs is light sensitive and i'm wondering what makes you think so?


mine also turns colors at times but i was assured by ken at silver puppy that cs is never affected by light or heat in any way, ever.


thanks,
angel


snip > (There's no real logic behind this at all.) Its not real
pretty to look at (the gel I mean) because I made it with extra strong
CS that's very light sensitive so it's gone a bit of a grey color. Then
again, to make it a pretty color it would probably need even more
ingredients of dubious merit.
