Here is a problem that I had not ever read about in any of the threads about using the LDD solution for soaking bowls.
I have been using 4 softball sized rocks to keep them submerged in the LDD. Last week the 4 rocks were not heavy enough to keep them under the surface. The closest thing that I had was a sledge hammer head (8#). It had a little discoloration, light brown , slight rust. It worked fine as far as the weight to submerge goes but a few days later, I was adding some more bowls and removing a few. That was when I saw the bowl that was in contact with the head was discolored black where it was touching. Part of the head had a build up of some kind of black slime, quite thick, more than a 1/4". There must be some sort of reaction to the LDD. I just wanted you to know about it.
I appreciate all of your postings that I learn from and wanted to pass this on so it doesn't happen to any of you.
Thanks again and keep up the good work,
Dave
