Making my 4th batch...got a magnetic stirrer, turned my mA down to prevent the smoke line, adjusted my volts to 10-12. My negative rod is only in the water less than an inch to get it to 10-12 volts, positive rode is black...I saw a youtube video where kephra held his bar to the flames on the stove until the black went away but I don't have a gas stove, so I tried a lighter, didn't seem to work. what is best way to clean the black off? I tried using the search took for cleaning cathode, cleaning silver, but nothing came up, perhaps I'm not using the search correctly. Still getting used to the forum.
Thank you!
