Hello folks : )
I'm having a hard time producing some cold nitric using lazersteve recipe. I have tried twice so far and they both resulted in a bowl full of hard salt.
I’m using Potassium Nitrate (99+%) from Duda Diesel on ebay and Liquid Lightning (94.19% http://www.liquidlightning.net/download.php?act=download&docId=124) for my sulfuric acid source from the local hardware store.
When I’m dissolving the potassium, there is a gel like residue that sticks to the side of the pot and also forms a small film on top of the water. Is this normal?
Here are some photos I took while doing the process. The end result of this is that I want to be able to process my used jewelry gold and silver scraps so I can reuse them in new material in casting or forging.
