[QUOTE="stracci, post: 3667294, member: 13814"]I really want to help you here. I know it's tricky to get the hang of acid testing. Your are way too heavy handed with your "scratches". You are going to create a flat spot on the ring, or worse. If your solutions are running together, it is because you are using too much. I think we discussed this a while ago [URL]https://www.antiquers.com/threads/question-about-acid-testing-gold.56480/#post-3105463[/URL] Your streak should be long and distinct, so that several drops of acid can be applied without them running together. See below. [IMG]https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/img_20201204_073655079-jpg.293852/[/IMG][/QUOTE]
