The yellow powder is not Au or Pt. I would guess it's a tungsten compound (oxide ?) or some other metal compound.

I second that. This forum contains everything you need to know, plus alot more. You won't get much help if you expect people to hold your hand. I highly recomend lazersteves DVDs if you need visual help getting started. Read the silver threads, hokes book, and you'll be well on your way.

Good luck~!
