Norm's snipped quote: [...the silver might turn opaque really fast...]
'Contaminants'...for me it's all about contaminants, be they in the air, in the water, in the production or storage vessel or from blinking as I walk past my setup. There are so many possible ways for contamination to creep into the process. If I have a clear solution, then it must be just that...clear with a 'sheen' to the water, a 'pure' clear. If I get a solution which is lemon yellow...then it must be a 'clean' pure lemon yellow, not tainted in any way, golden yellow...same again, must be pure golden. If any colour is pure and clean then I am well satisfied with what I have, if any colour is 'tainted' and not a 'pure' colour then I have some contaminant present, or something else happening, and if I've done pretty much all I can do to eliminate contaminants and that 'something else happening' in the production process, then what that contaminant is only humpty dumpty and/or the kings men would know. That's my 'quality assurance' technique, clarity of colour is my cornerstone and reassures me contaminants have been kept to a minimum, can't eliminate them, but I've kept them to a minimum. And I know popular opinion in some circles is for clear solutions but I don't accept that, never have.
