yes I tried IRON OUT and the same bad fluffy brown stuff that settled on the gold powder was easily distributed making thing hard to separate. Recommend do not use (it must have additives they are not listing ) :|leavemealone said:The super iron out will work,however I stopped using it a couple of years ago due to an interesting result.Periodically when I would use it to precipitate,the solution would turn milky and I would have a large amount of matter on the bottom.Notice I said "matter" and not powder.This matter was spongey and not dense at all.When redissolve it tested negative for gold,however my original solution still tested positive.I now have a few years under my belt and to this day I can not explain why it reacted that way.I am not adding this info to scare anyone,I just want you to be aware in case it happens to you in the future.Thats why I started using the Bonide stumpout(100% SMB),or copperas.I am partial to copperas though.I've never had a problem yet that proved to be the copperas' fault.

the msds says it contains sodium carbonate - 3-7% & sodium chloride 15-40%. could the salt be pulling other metals out of solution as well?shyknee said:yes I tried IRON OUT and the same bad fluffy brown stuff that settled on the gold powder was easily distributed making thing hard to separate.

That sounds like a deal! At the rate I found mine at I'm going to be paying around $60 for 5lbs. There's a slight difference in price. haha
