Re: Electric Furnace Build
bingo :\
and it's not like dissolving takes much effort :p nor filtering, but it's not open a computer and chip off the gold with a pic and melt it down
And the last dissolve step is for purification... to get to .9995

Re: Electric Furnace Build
Most circuit boards have a little, and I mean little bit of gold on them. The older they get, the more gold. Or, the closer to military spec they get, the more gold.
