Chill out and listen to what your are been advised, the mods, regular contributors and the silent members have witnessed several members choose to ignore sage safety advice from experienced refiners some of whom we know had a very poor outcome, some just vanished whether through failure or more serious reasons we do not know.
No one here is paid to help or advise most do so to help, it can seem that we are picking on new members but in truth we are trying to stop them making some of the mistakes we have made or some of the dangers we have placed ourselves in, usually unwittingly or through ignorance of the risks.
Yes virtually every process has risks from dissolving metals to precipitating your values to working with strong acids and even worse strong bases which is why we try to get memebers to read and study as much as possible so they can understand the processes and potential risks, many of our most successful refiners are those that joined and read for a year or more and didn’t post until they started their first process, everything you need to know is here, it’s up to individual memebers to decide if they want to put the effort in or not, if it’s a no then expect very little help from most of the experienced refiners they simply don’t have the time to hold new members hands through each step of every process.
