I never use salt either Mike was explaining how to test it...so glad for you that you are getting the gold let me know what you think of it....debbie

Can I use sea salt instead of canning salt? thanks for the into ....debbie -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Mike Monett" <txu-4...@myamail.com> > > > From: "Gertrude" > > > Hello Debbie , Sometimes I have the same troubles and take a > > coffee-filter for the CS water to filter the very little > > silverparts out. > > > Is that the way...?? > > I would caution on using coffee filters or anything else to strain > the cs. > > Paper can have all kinds of soluble ions that can combine with the > silver ions and make different compounds that have little or no > antibacterial or antiviral properties. > > You can do a simple test.
