gene carr,
Back when the forum was small, we could spend time answering every little question some one asked, but the forum has grown so much it is hard to re-answer all of these questions over and over thousands of times, and doing so fills the forum with the same old stuff for members to sort through when looking for an answer to a problem.
Here are some thing's to do that will get you started learning, and it will answer your questions, it will also arm you with the tools you need.
Hoke's book free download (book section), a must read for success.
Safety section, and dealing with waste to protect you and those around you, also situations to avoid.
READ! For future and all members, (Found at the bottom of the basic’s page).
Welcome, to new members (found in general chat), also study the general reaction list.
Guide to the forum (general chat).
Getting the gold pure and shining, (help needed section).
Washing gold powders by Steve (in tutorials).
Also visit Laser Steve’s web site (link in any of his posts) he also has a search engine on his site that is wonderful to find any question you could think of on this forum.
This is just the beginning of the adventure, have fun.
And welcome to the forum
Gene this is the best answer I can give you or anyone here needed an answer to a question, as if I just gave you a simple answer to your question you have at the present time, I would be cheating you out of all of your answer’s you would need to the question to come, by starting with these, you will have all of the answer’s.
