    clothes

    I got silver nitrate (AgNo3) on my shorts today and it wont come out. Silver nitrate is clear until it comes in contact with the sun, then it turns brown or black


    Know a way to get it out?
    Theorecticly, since its water soluble, it should come out, but doesnt...

    Um, what about the photography fluid for removing the unexposed crystals?

    Get your mom/dad/significant other to buy you a pair exactly the same as those and trade them out when you aren't looking.

    are you serious? elaborate please....

    Anyways, since all nitrates are soluble, it should come off. I got it on my hand once and the color came out in a week. It looked (and looks, as I have another one on my hand) like a disease or fungus...

    I don't remember what it's called, but when you develop a film you rinse off the unexposed crystals using something :-/

    It's usually called fixer. But it removes the silver that has'nt reacted with the light.

    You need to use a strong reducer - for film you use Potassium Ferricyanide to remove excess silver (lighten an over-exposed negative). This will definitely work in your case, but I don't think messing with chemicals like that is a laundromat-type pursuit. It will probably alter any other dyes or pigments in the cloth or sizing - even if the cloth is white. Chlorine bleach will work somewhat. (Clorox if you're in the US)

    Try a reputable dry-cleaner. They can probably remove the spots for you if you tell 'em what the spot is.

    Thanks. I think I know where I can get that. Ill try it on the inside of a pocket first to mkae sure nothing bad happens.

    What a way to start my first day in that class! We all knew the effects of Agno3 from previous years in chem, so there was a small chemical fight

    Are we still talking about how to remove clothes in a confined space or did we leave that topic over in NXSupport?
