Looks like I’m Having trouble getting rid of the Tin.,Iron and Cd.
Kinda of a drag will the Cd be a problem if I use it for jewelry making ?

I really do not know.
As Cadmium is very toxic and I do not know how it is with regards to uptake through the skin.
Malleability wise it is easy to assess, just snip off a piece and start pounding it with a hammer as you would by forming it to jewelry.

A short google study, indicates it is safe in low concentrations.

Amazing but true cadmium is used in some jewelry solder formulations. It is a toxic metal but I do not know at what concentrations it becomes an issue.
I do know some jewelry manufacturers who also import from China and
I set them up to measure certain elements that would cause the lot to be rejected. One of those metals they checked for was cadmium.

The Regulations restrict cadmium content in jewellery to 0.01% (100 mg/kg) by weight of metal and this applies to:

Can I remove it by rerunning through a cell. I believe the containments came from so called stainless steel wire ties I used as a cathode in a 2L flask.
Back to the drawing board .
Venturi for fume hood yet to be built as well .

Refining is, in a way, similar to a computer. Garbage in, garbage out.

You nailed it . I was was trying to just use a straight edge to grow the crystals on and thought the wire ties would be a perfect application/ use . I like looking at the crystals grow , but looks like it’s time to use the stainless steel bowl. Lesson learned
