First off, I have a post under the title "Game fingers" so you may get up to date with what I am working with. Well I am doing the hcl-h202 method dissolved with clorox. Problem was that my foils didn't come completely off so I added more peroxide and they dissapeared over the next couple days.
This statement confuses me.
On one hand , you say that you are using the AP (acid/peroxide) method.
This is a
recovery procedure.
Then you mention dissolution with clorox.
This is a
refining procedure.
After mentioning Clorox , and without further refference , you say that your "foils didn't come completely off so (you) added more peroxide and they dissapeared over the next couple days".
I would assume that this comment still reffers to the AP process , where you are attempting to recover gold foils from your game card fingers.
If you had applied some patience to the process and followed accepted procedure , there shouldn't have been a need for extra additions of H202.
As you will know from your studies here on the forum , this is an invitation for the dissolution of gold.
If you have any of these left , add some more trimmed fingers to your vessel. The extra copper present within these should dissolve into your AP solution and drop (precipitate) any dissolved gold.
Depending on the amount of gold dissolved , you may need to take another route.
Maybe I'm reading your post wrong , if I am I whole heartedly apolagise.
All the best with it , and kind regards ,
