[QUOTE="stracci, post: 3111983, member: 13814"]The 10k solution holds, but the 14k diminishes your streak a little. So maybe the ring is 12k. If you make longer streaks on the stone, then you can place the drops of acid further apart and the drops wont bleed together. Then your results will be easier to decipher. Also, between rounds of testings, wipe the stone clean with a wet paper towel. That way successive tests will always be on a clean stone.[/QUOTE]
