Hi together!!
I'm from Malaysia and this is my first post since i have read a lot of
valueable information here.Thanks to lazersteve video and members here.

This is my first experiment:

Method: AP
Acid:Hydroklorik 37% , Peroxide 3% and clorox 5.25% sodium hypochlorite


600g trimmed fingers from HP Server Board
filled in a drill hole bucket like steve video,
The drill bucket put in a large bucket
Then i put 2 liter HCL and 1 liter Peroxide
The foils stripped nicely after 4-5 days..
Wash foils for several rinse with HCL and Hot Water

What is happen here, when i process foils with HCL/CL,it turn to light/ green,green color.
Its look like im stuck here,So i save the solution in safety place for later process.
I do not have Stannous on hand,because hard to find in my area.

Any advice would be great and thanks again.

It seems you still have some copper in the solution.
Evaporate the chlorine; add 2 times water, then SMB.
From 600g of fingers I think you can expect 2 or 3 g of gold, so add about 4 g of SMB. If you don't have SMB, cement the gold with some clean copper.

IAfter you precipitate or cement, save the solution until you have Stannous.
