Can anyone tell me the proper way to prepare and use the tree stump remover. so i can use it as sodium meta bisulfite to drop gold.
 
I'm just back from a shopping trip to find a few more supplies, one of them being 'tree stump remover' either Bonide or Copperas and have been told that it's no longer available. Apparently the chemicals in it are band here in Canada, or at least in Ontario where I am.
1) can anyone confirm or deny this (I did only go to one store)
2) is there anything else that will substitute for SMB

thanks

You won't need to filter the stumpout.

One of our canadian members told us about a product (last year I think) that was SMB.It had something to do with potatoes.....10 points for anyone that remembers this?I have looked but cannot seem to find the thread.
But Jim's advice is probably the best......just order it online.There are countless ebay auctions,and countless online stores that sell it.Here is where I used to get mine before I switched to copperas... http://www.chemistrystore.com/Chemicals_S_Z-Sodium_Metabisulfite.html

what is tree stump remover.
good precipitant is ferrousammoniumsulphate.
if you can, use hydrazine.
i am trying to develop mini SO2 and hydrogen generator
any idea
 
Ok heres another question i come across sodium bisulfate in the pool supply area. Can that be used as S.M.B. to drop gold thanks.

If you have to ask this question, you have not done much reading on the forum, and you have not learned to use the search function.

"You won't need to filter the stumpout" this is the only precipiant I've used, there are black grains that need to be filtered out unless you don't care about impurities.

If you have black grains, you do not have Bonide StumpOut. There are differing chemicals used to remove stumps & brush. Make sure you ALWAYS check MSDS from manufacturer's website to make sure what you have & in what concentration.

We are talking about 2 different products.One is 98% sodium dysulphite,one is 100% metabisulphite.One is granular,one is powder.Both of them are Bonide Stump-out,but if you are purchasing the "powder" then you will NOT need to filter it.
Not to be confused with Bonide Stump and Vine remover.

I'M 100% positive it's bonide stumpout. I bought it at home depot and had to filter the solids at the suggestion of this forum.

Someone here advised you to filter the solids from the stumpout? I find that hard to believe,and after searching I cannot find one thread with the words "stumpout" and "filter" where anyone advised that.I think you may have been mistaken.But it is irrelevant,if you are getting black grain solids in your SMB then there is a problem somewhere.Many members have used stumpout as a precipitant and I do not recall one person(other than you) stating that there were contaminants in it.

I don't recall any one suggesting that it be filtered either. I have dissolved many bottles of the Bonide Stump Out and have not run into any black specks in the solution. I think you have a different product that you are using.
