In practice, you just start with enough HCl and add some nitrate, but not enough to react with all the HCl to make nitric.MissRoxy said:laughs see now the videos i had seen failed to mention the addition of HCl a second time yes that would make more sense to me then. i have nothing against finding a more cost effective way of doing things and oddly that is kind of how i ended up here on this site i am a glass blower and found a free source of fire clay with a sweet bonus in my waste from cleaning the clay haha i found gold
