I believe your recovery will be successful, please report back in micro-grams how much you recover! The last time I ran that machine it used about 2 cm of extremely thin 24k gold wire for a 3 cubic foot vacuum chamber. Good luck!Well, off I go to the local RCMP station to look for old black garbage bags to process for gold fingerprints....
Yeah, not sure if my sarcasm came across properly. It's a tiny amount of gold that used in that process.I was just kidding Elemental, I wouldn't waste my time.
Hmm... paper towel for me would be light mist of ninhydrin or iodine fuming. Paper towel is a terrible thing to try and recover latent prints from, it just has a bad texture. But if it's all you have to go on, so be it. Latex was always another tough material to print. I had a homicide where we recovered latex gloves in bloody duct tape all balled up. Spent quite a few days slowly separating the duct tape and printing both it and the gloves. As luck would have it, I found a partial latex glove piece in the basement (not tangled in duct tape). I could either do latent prints or DNA swabs, but not both. Called the FBI to get their advice, they asked if we had a suspect (we did). They said DNA, we did and got a match. Morale of the story, don't sell PCP and not pay your suppliers, kids. I also found the money he owed them, stashed away in the house. He died about 10 feet away from it.Pretty cool for things that can’t be fumed with cyanoacrylate (he mentioned paper towel) but honestly a $30 video camera, a nitrogen chamber and an ALS will suffice.
Yeah chromatography on fibre products is iffy but isn’t destructive like Iodine. Latex would def be an experience thing. Back to the… Oh wait, I’m not a refiner, I’m just here for the inorganic chemistry lolYeah, not sure if my sarcasm came across properly. It's a tiny amount of gold that used in that process.

Regardless, I fear I've taken this message thread about as far away from precious metal refining as possible, so back to regularly scheduled gold & silver chat.
Recently tried to post a new thread, forum said. looks like I'm able to reply to my old threads.
