Thank you my friend. Have no idea where I'd be in this process without you all and your education.Of course Copper so you separate the precious from the non precious metals.
Thank you again.

Do I need to put it on low heat or anything with the copper in it? Had been in approx an hours. Copper just as bare as it was when I put it in that solution.Bubbler is my most used piece besides my hot plate. The bubbler should do just fine.
If you haven't read it yet, take a look at When In Doubt, Cement It Out.Do I need to put it on low heat or anything with the copper in it? Had been in approx an hours. Copper just as bare as it was when I put it in that solution.
Here's a stannous test just taken at 2045hrs.Check it tomorrow. It should be done. Even then, it will only be light dusting at most, but in a less toxic form. If the stannous test pictured is the way it appears on my phone, there may be no PGM’s anyway. Better safe than sorry later though.
Dave,
Hello my friend,How much SMB did you use? Too much SMB can sometimes leave a lite stain on your stannous test strip.
What is the PH of your solution, It needs to be in a low PH for SMB to work effectively.
That works out great. I have duty tonight so I won't be near it to watch over it. I'll be back to have a glance at it about 0800hrs tomorrow.Check it tomorrow. It should be done. Even then, it will only be light dusting at most, but in a less toxic form. If the stannous test pictured is the way it appears on my phone, there may be no PGM’s anyway.

What pH strips do you use?
This is what it looks like today. It appears a little lighter and the copper has something on it. No dust in the bottom. Just that on the copper. Won't shake off so I am going to try and spray it off.Study Dave’s link. It has to be the single most detailed process for cementing waste solutions out there. From there Kurtak has some additional information if you have access to fine mesh copper powder.

This was amazing information. Made one heck of a pot there. I am going to do the exact same.
PH was a 3 on the color scale. Just checked it.As a backyard refiner I just use the generic PH test strips. There are some processes that require a precise PH, but I don't do them that much.

Palladium, maybe silver or platinum. Not sure why they would plate out with that shiny finish though.Shark,
Whatever was in that solution plated the copper. Take a look. Looks like platinum. Didn't drop any powder, just put a beautiful plating on the copper.
Me either. But i learned some so I can't be too frustrated about it. Again I am extremely grateful for all your help and everyone here. Forever grateful is an understatement.Palladium, maybe silver or platinum. Not sure why they would plate out with that shiny finish though.
