Consider cleaning it

Chris,
The cell can look full just from the black color in the acid. You can estimate the fullness by two simple methods.
1) How many pounds of scrap did you process. Figure 1 gram per pound for mid grade scrap. To get the most out of a rinse you should try to rinse after no less than 7 grams (5-7 pounds of scrap processed) minimal.
or
2) How many actual hours of stripping time you put in. I use this method to determine when to filter. I go for a minimum of 12 hours and a maximum of 24.

You should have a nice nugget, 10-15 grams.
