Hi Guys, I'm back....sorry it took so long to update you,,,,I had a family member in the hospital....
I went ahead and followed through with my batch as you sugested, had a few problems...I was doing it outside and my glass broke...I recovered everything and started over with the clorox and muriatic acid. filtered and added the smb. I now have a nice brown product. Im just waiting for it to dry out so that I can melt it.
Thank you all for your help...
My next step is to get into my cooler and work on the bucket that has the copper hanging in it. I will read back in this post for what you sugested.
Again, I really appreciate all your help and patience.
Michele
