Is it ok to use a few drops of sulfuric in HCL/CL to drop lead?
I have done this when using AR, but this is the first time i have digested using HCL/CL.
I would do it after all chlorine is gone, but before dilution?
 
I see no problem adding a few drops to precipitate lead, in fact I feel it is beneficial, because any sodium chloride salts formed (from bleach and HCl), will just go into solution as HCl.
 
I did have a lot of white stuff (sodium chloride salts?) form with the reaction. Is there a way cut down on / or eliminate their formation? I used regular bleach, i think i read somewhere stronger bleach is better.

Thanks
