Welcome to the site! Regardless of your eductation or experience in other areas of chemistry, Ms. Hokes' book is indispensible. The gentlemen on this site may not seem so gentle at times if you're anywhere as near as arrogant as I was ( keep your teddybear near by).

A year into this hobby and I'm still discovering "Oh! That's why they told me to do it this way".

This Forum is second in value only to the book. It will save you time, money, embarassment and detriments to your health. It will grace you with incredible expediant knowlede and a whole lot of fun... as you can tell, I'm a fan.

Ten plus years into this and I still have this happen. And I still learn new things just about every day.

Everyone on this forum is well educated and very helpful with detailed explanations on all aspects of refining. The people here have helped me out so much especially with newbie questions, then giving a full brief on technical items that a layperson can understand. I want to thank Jeff from Lithic metals for turning me on to this forum. What a pillar of strength this place is. Welcome to the forum Kilost!
