Hello to all. Phil here from Port St Lucie, Fl. I am a new guy here on the block and I have a problem. I mixed up a batch of N/A using battery acid (NAPA Auto) and S/N dissolved in distilled water. I let the S/N sit for a day, then poured off the liquid leaving the white mud behind. After adding the bat acid, I was ready for a trial run. I put in the solution a single 24 gram hollow Sterling knife handle (I cleaned all of the junk out first). I let it sit in solution un-heated for a week. The solution turned aqua green, but nothing much was happening, so I heated for several hours (hot, but not boiling). The only thing a see now is the handle is now bristling with long thin clear spikes like a cactus. Where did I go wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
