 I have found that a small variation actually does matter.
In the old silverpuppy models, I could significantly vary the concentration at shut down just by bending the electrode ends towards or away from each other..and not by very much either. But that was before using stirring and a conductive track tended to form in a 'U' shape at the bottom between the ends. The electrodes were straight back then. That could all have something to do with it.

Granted, an eyeball is good enough to get consistancy. An eyeball can be quite accurate.
 I tried the strips first and had a hard time with them. That's all.

    "Our electrodes are .25 inches wide and .013 inches thick. If they
    are submersed 4 inches, the total surface area will be 4.21 square
    inches. This  is  2.5 times the wetted surface  area  of  14 gauge
    wires. Therefore the current density of 14 gauge wires will be 2.5
    times higher  than the electrodes we use. What this means  is, the
    amount of  silver released using our electrodes will be  so spread
    out over the surface of the electrodes, it will be releasing  at a
    slower pace. If the silver is released more slowly,  the particles
    are smaller. They will also be more uniform in size because of the
    constant current  regulator  and stirring. The  result  is  a more
    uniform, small particle size colloid."

  A 0.013  flat ribbon will be difficult to keep straight.  This means
  it will be difficult to keep a uniform electrode spacing from top to
  bottom.

Not really. Let's use the SG6 as the example. This isn't rocket science and most people can see when two electrodes are fairly parallel because they're attached to the unit with binding posts.

  While a  small  variation  probably   doesn't  matter,  you  will be
  constantly fussing  with  it and wondering if  it  is  affecting the
  results. It is not worth the hassle.
