How long have you been refining gold? I worked at a store that used the I-Shore refining system for gold several years and this gave me a lot of knowledge about this type of refining.
What are you looking for in our community? I have access to high karat gold to refine (18k) and because I’m using a system I am not familiar with I need specific information on how to proceed ? (HELP) .I do know some chemistry but am not proficient with it. I am not working with e-waste. I work with jewelry and that is my prime reason for joining this community (you guys seem to know what you are doing from what I have read so far) and I have Hokes book.
Other: I built my own fume box, and have gathered almost all the chemicals I need ( I think)

Welcome. Maybe you could be our I-Shore expert. People show up here all the time with I-Shore system problems. I guess you figured it out to use it for several years?

You will learn here that you really don't need any of that stuff.

Yes that was an expensive system I would be willing to give my advice to anyone who needs it . First off Don't buy it.
