Well, so far I have tried cycling the plates in water and leaving in KOH in order to try to get this white build-up that everyone has been talking about.  The only time I’ve seen anything like what they describe is when I’ve put the plates in KOH and then removed them to dry over a few days.  They get a white crusty covering that I’ve always just thought was KOH that dried on the SS and it also forms insde the canister if you allow it to dry.

I’m going to let the plates dry for a day or so now and see if I get a build-up then.  If so we’ll put back into the water and see what kind of results we get with the film in place.  So far however, I fail to understand why all these people are making comments that can’t be proved.
