Hi. I'm Jacob, a high school student obsessed with science and math. I love to build many different sorts of contraptions and perform experiments on topics
that interest me. I hope my project tutorials help you to learn about and build cool contraptions and perform neat experiments at home. If you have any
questions, comments, suggestions, etc., please message me. I love to incorporate your suggestions. Thank you so much for visiting my page. Keep on
inventing, Jacob

Is it orginal gold?
NeonfOx says:
As no-one is able to make gold (as its an element), therefor all gold is original gold
however i'm assuming your asking if its pure or real gold and yes its real but no not pure as this process doesn't just leave behind the just the gold. you
would need further processing to extract the "pure" gold

The higher the concentrations of either chemical used should decrease the time it takes to dissolve the nickel base.

Well, I'll have to try this. Seems a lot less caustic than the other versions i've seen
