But I like to see what they look like before I decide. Our jeweler mate normally does mine in acid, These bits I decided to have a play myself.

Giddiup Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Nice one dave, I was going to start a new topic with a question on acid but it follows well from your post so i hope you don't mind i ask a question here! These few bits just went into weak hydrochloric acid today - after the solution goes a yellow tinge from the byproducts etc does it make any difference changing the acid solution? In other words does the acid get used up somehow and benifit from replenishing? tks in advance for everyone's wisdom:) struan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like yours better, can't wait to see some more big ones! Hi Steve, here is one from awhile ago. Cheers Dave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the scales we like to use. Pic 1 And when you run out of weights you need to improvise as us Queenslanders always have a few of these handy. Pic2 Sorry mate the pics are back the front. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all I know, which is nothing on these lite acids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
