Exactly. I think the problems associated with using Big Yeller's Selenium
toners for colloidal silver is the thiosulfate in it. I know any thio in a
POP toner is a disaster, so I think this is the problem.

Thanks for the toner formulas. I'll stick em out on my web site with the
others. I'll try them too.

Yum Yum.

Or get it on your skin. The metal comes in a black powder. Sure don't want
to inhale it. I've inhaled some pretty weird stuff in my day -- that was
the 60's, and like they say, if you remember the 60's, you weren't there.
Don't wanna inhale this stuff though.

Thanks
