Yup, that's the answer. Both methods work well. Boiling is not 
necessary, nor is it bad either.

If you look at Peter Lindemann's article at:    

     http://www.elixa.com/silver/lindmn.htm

... you'll see he mentions the effect of temperature on production 
rate and particle size.

But, as we've been talking about lately, current limiting can 
probably get you the particle size advantage, though at the expense 
of time.

The good news? It *all* works if you put the pieces together right.

Be well,
