<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 7240741, member: 36"]You're better off scratch testing with the 18k acid anyway. The results are a lot easier to read. Just scratch on the stone in the usual way. Hit the stripe on the stone with the 18k and the metal should turn white and curdle up. I bought one bottle of sterling acid and it went bad within a month or two. Some of my gold acids are years old and they work fine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
