Hey guys just wanted to get your thoughts on the best way to keep silver crystal once it has been washed and dried. I'm quite new to operating a silver cell and have lots of wrinkles to iron out including concentrations amps volts anode and cathode areas etc plus the small matter of using DEIONISED water and somewhat cloudy electrolyte!
I am currently looking for a good source of distilled water in the UK that doesn't cost a fortune delivered.
My silver crystal is generally fair in quality and structure but I can sift through and find some good pieces to keep and of course rerun the finer crystals as I improve my setup.
I've noticed my crystal will tarnish in days if left out in the open and even in a plastic bag will fade from its original shine. Is this normal or might an issue of purity explain this? How do others store their crystal, anyone tried storing under water to keep it bright and shiny
Any other tips would also be thankfully received.
Thanks in advance, Frank.
