Hello, I did not add dissolved silicon or any other kinds of solutions in the TMAH. The TMAH solution made by Moses Lake Industries, Inc. is 25% weight in water. I just poured the TMAH directly from oringinal bottle to the chemical reaction container. Thanks Kejia Li ------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello, Are you adding dissolved silicon or Ammonium peroxy disulphate (APODS) to your solution?? I was wondering if the TMAH solution is 25% weight in water?? or Alchohol?? Thanks Kris
