The silver should be cloudy like a slightly dirty window , not milky generally if you add enough ammonia to the silver and sodium hydroxide mixture to render it completely clear then you will probably have added too much ammonia.

If so, I need assistance with a protocol. Also I am doing a reticulum stain and I am having a time with the ammoniacal silver solution, I can get the solution clear but when it comes to the cloudy do they mean milky cloudy?
