However, in this particular case, why would you conclude your new 18K acid is defective because it is stronger & dissolves the silver streak in a way that the older, weaker acid does not? After all, it is meant for testing gold, a much less interactive metal than silver. Maybe hang on to your old 18K acid as a silver test.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
