I have a question about filters. I have some gold foils that are stuck to some coffee filter paper. If I put this paper in with the gold foils that I will be using the bleach process on, will it cause problems?
 
The paper will not dissolve, it may get bleached and fall apart, the paper can be filtered from the gold chloride solution, to remove the remaining gold chloride from the paper rinse the filtered pulp, the pulp will also help to filter the solution, giving a place for insoluble salts and crude to stick to.

This trick of adding paper or pulp to your filtering of solutions can oftentimes be helpful in make filtering easier or more efficient.
 
Thank you Butcher, my plan was to just go about the bleach process and just pour through the filter after all the gold is in solution. You just confirmed my thoughts!
