I was having a problem with adding new anode bars so I redesigned my anode basket.
I made a basket from a rubbermaid container as before.
This time I cut the top off the lid and used it to secure the first anode filter cloth (I use two filter bags in my silver cell).
Then I used a hot drill bit and burned holes through the lid and bag to allow the glass rod to be inserted (see photo).
I also burnt holes in the second filter bag, but placed it over the red plastic lid that is now holding down the first filter bag.
After threading the glass rod through the second filter bag, I used a RUBBER BAND to secure the top of the second anode bag to the top of the anode basket (see photo).
Has anyone experienced problems with rubber being used in contact with the silver nitrate?
I know from experience the the silver nitrate will wick up the anode filter material and come in contact with the rubber band.
Will this cause any problems for me during the operation and or clean up of the cell?
Thanks for your inputs!
