Evening all.
I hope this is the right place to post my plea for assistance. I've been making 2 litre batches of gel capped 320ppm with my Silvertron with no problems. However, the last three times I've got it up and running, I've found the oxide build up on the anode and cathode suddenly switches about a third of the way through, and silver plates the inside of my jar instead! Every time I suspend the run to clean the anode and cathode, there is next to nothing to wipe off, and I see the jar has started to get the shiny silver look.
I've tried making fresh electrolyte, and my workspace is scrupulously clean, but the batch I'm doing today is going the same way. It seems to start off fine, the first time I suspend the run to clean, there is the normal expected amount of oxide to remove, but it goes tits up after that I'm sorry to say.
My question is, why has it started to do this? (I've been making silver for about 2 and a half years with my Silvertron) oh and also is the colloidal silver useless? Technically that's two questions sorry
P.s The finished stuff tastes and behaves normally, and is clear once diluted in a glass of water, so I dunno what I'm doing!
