Thanks again for the useful info about trimming fingers. Since I am new, I have been reading the posts, downloading all the texts that I see you guys post and trying to watch the videos. Extremely helpful.
We will start trimming fingers and pulling pins this weekend to hopefully soon try our first batch and I will let you know how we do. Now for the question.
From what I have read, gold plating such as on the fingers and even on other materials like china, I seem to understand that is 24k. Please correct me if I am wrong. If it is 24k, why the need to refine it further after the AP? It seems if I get flakes from the AP that I should just be able to rinse per your instructions and melt down. Am I missing something?
BTW, I have to say that the experience and knowledge from all of you is invaluable. I have learned way more from this forum than months of web research. Thanks to the administrator for setting this up.
