<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ce BCA, post: 4253457, member: 18716&quot;]The acid kits are the simplest to get into and use.&nbsp; They are pretty accurate, but do buy quality acids as some ones I have bought on ebay before have been junk.&nbsp; The acids can burn your skin, but it really isn&#039;t that dangerous, have water on hand to wash off any splashes.&nbsp; I&#039;v often got some on me and noticed a minute or two later when I start to get a burning sensation!&nbsp; Do be very careful not to get any in your eyes though as that is a different matter.&nbsp; I wear glasses so not much of an issue for me, get some safety specs if you don&#039;t wear glasses.</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver plate and gold plate will test as silver and gold respectively, so you either need to file through the surface in an inconspicuous spot, or use your experience to tell if something is plated.&nbsp; Using a loupe on edges or corners is often a good way of spotting if something is plated.&nbsp; After a while you will get the eye for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
