There is such a difference between the weight of Gold foils verses the weight of the button they produce, it makes me have to know what happened to the missing Gold.
The contest Geo had recently is a great example of the difference. He started with 128.3g of foils, but ended up with a final melt of 42.8g. That is approximately 1/3 of the starting weight.
If the foils are close to 24K, where is this lost weight?
Does this missing Gold get lost as colloidal Gold and end up in the stock pot? Do elves come and steal it in the night? Is there anything we can do to get those two numbers (starting foil wt / final wt) closer together?
