This is a thread we are starting, by request, to get all of the formulations into 1 place for making this necessary refining tool. Stannous chloride is the eyes of the refiner, it indicates the presence of values out eyes cannot see and it does so on a real time basis so the test is definitive and quick.
If you can just purchase the reagents required, I prefer this formula;
Stannous chloride test solution
2 grams stannous chloride crystals.
1 gram of tin metal.
40 ml of water
5 ml Hydrochloric Acid
Both of these chemicals are available from Carolina Biological Supply. These are the best prices I have found to date, and they seem to blow away the pricing of Action Mining.

And now I invite the other formulations used by members.
