I Think I may have screwed up somewhere. I followed Laser Steve's Cell and every thing went well. So I venture on my own and am unsure of my next step.
Jar 1 - I Had a 24 K coated ceramic vase and dissolved the gold off with HCl / Cl, Filtered and set on a hot plate over night.
Jar 2 - I used a acid peroxide with some clorox (Was trying to dissolve gold from cb fingers) It flaked the gold off nicely. I rinsed with distilled to achieve just foils and wires. I then added HCL & Cl gold dissolved, I filtered again and let sit on hot plate for 2 hours.
I added SMB mixed with H20 to both containers they turned from yellow to a lighter yellow. ... Then I screwed made the mistake of stirring both with a cheap screw driver and both instantly turned black / brown but the solution doesn't seem to be settling. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Also thanks to the folks that run and maintain this site. I feels great to learn then have a lab
