I think I know what you are trying to accomplish. This is what I would try.
Infuse with CS and dry to get a bunch of seed sites of atoms and particles of silver. Put into a mixture of silver citrate or silver nitrate mixed with a photo developer. Of couse a standard photo developer would work best, but it is toxic, so you would have to make sure to completely wash it out. Instead you might want to use a developer that is not toxic, but does not develop as fast. Caffine I think is likely a good choice for that. Make sure that your caffine water mixture is of the right ph, you will need to add something to it to make it basic, such as sodium hydroxide or soduim bicarbonate. After developing for however long you want, wash the developer out. If you want to stop the particle growth dead at a certain stage, then use a stop solution, citric or acedic acid would work well for that. This should allow you to put a heck of a lot of silver into the clay. Marshall Reid Harvey wrote: > Frank, > Forgive me if I've asked this before.
