Shor is a weak one????

You need to be a bit more descriptive than that for anyone to help you. The name of the product you purchased and/or the element you are trying to precipitate would be a good start.

Your right. I purchased starter kit from Shor industries. Non of the chemicals i received have names on them. I am refining cpu/ewaste. the precipatant i am using is labeled storm Precipitant / scrubpowder.

Brooks,

I have never worked with Shor products so I am just taking a guess that it would be SMB that they are using to precipitate gold. SMB = Sodium metabisulfite = Na2S2O5 can weaken due to age and exposure to air. You can buy this many places far cheaper than what I hear Shor charges.

I am sorry I can not be of greater help, but if you are using Shor I would stop everything and read here as well as a good refining book like Hoke before continuing. This is one of the problems with Shor is that they keep you flying blind and addicted to them for overpriced, unnamed, chemicals.
