What is this?

i can try to help. it seems you are really trying. slow down, the gold is not going anywhere fast. you almost got the process right. when you incinerate, start your wash with the least corrosive and work your way up. water rinse in boiling water to remove any soluble salts. hcl wash in boiling hcl will remove any tin or other oxides (mostly). follow with another water rinse and the material may be clean enough to work with. are you testing the prior washes with stannous chloride?

I wash with HCL / Clorox because that's what lavenstar's DVD told me to do. Thanks for the tip on what to search for.

"Lavenstar"? Did you mean Lazersteve?

I have Lazersteve's DVD on Processing Gold Filled Scrap. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't see on that DVD anywhere, that Steve says to use HCL/NaClO to wash anything with. On Step #3 "Recovery" @ 8:23, Steve tells us to use Hydrochloric/Clorox to "dissolve" the gold. Straight Hydrochloric is used for the washes. He also uses Distilled Water for some of the washes.

Steel or metal strainers have no place here when your working with acids. You should be using plastic.
