I bought LaserSteve's CD on silver a long time ago. Recently I dissolved several pounds of silver containing scrap in nitric. I precipitated the silver chloride out with brine. My question is, other than being a little wasteful, are there any negative concequences to using a little more lye than necessary? If not, if I rinse thoroughly, are there any negative consequences to using too much sugar, as well? Of course,I would expect that I would also need to rinse the excess sugar out as well. I want to be absolutely certain that everything gets converted. Thanks
