Hey, quick question: Can anyone here tell me how much potassium
hydroxide to add to what volume of distilled or deionized water to
produce the proper electrolyte for first filling the electrolyte
reservoir on a “water torch”? The torch is a big blue box labeled
with the model number 2800, and I think that’s L&R, though memory is
dim on that. At one point I was told 10 ounces of potassium
hydroxide, but then was told there are several models of this torch,
and the larger version takes twice that. I’ve no idea which size this
is (how do you tell?). So the easiest would be the recipe with both
the potassium hydroxide and the volume of water to mix with it… I
know I can get premixed quart bottles of the stuff, but I’ve already
got the dry chemical, and it seems silly not to use it…
thanks.
