Well, I made a stupid move.
I brought home a half pound of "silver solder" to do a recovery on, in hopes of buying a bunch.
Set it up in the hood...got that whole chunk digested. Had it sitting in a 1000 mL beaker for a couple days, as I didn't have anything large enough to cement it out in. Finally found a large jar, diluted my liquid. Then I couldn't find a suitable piece of copper bus. Waited another day until I was able to procure, dropped it in...
NOTHING
Not the slightest bit of cementation. What the heck...did I fall asleep at the wheel? Ran in the house and got the salt shaker...nope, no sleeping, I'm just an idiot.
Always do a small assay before committing chemicals, and waste...otherwise, waste away.
DOH
