SUMMARY

TRADE ONLY! Anyone over the age of 18 may buy acids for testing precious metals as part of their trade / business / profession (e.g. retail jewellers, antiques shop, auction house, pawnbrokers). See "Restrictions" for more information. 

THESE ARE NOT A STANDARD BOTTLES! These are not the standard plastic bottles that most people use (see the tab PLASTIC OR GLASS?). We manufacture several hundred plastic bottles per month but only a few glass bottles, so few that we only make them to order, so add 1 to 2 weeks to the delivery time. 

Compatible with all QUICKTEST and TROYTEST testers.

These are replacement bottles of acid only. They do not come with any instructions or accessories, they are to be used with an existing set, they must be stored in their secure box in accordance with the safety instructions that came with the set.

How to test gold: click here for a list of all videos.

The 'silver' fluid is also known as the AMBER fluid.

The 18ct fluid is also known as the 18ct-24ct fluid or the BLUE fluid.

For details of what each of these do, please see the description of each set.

PLASTIC OR GLASS?

GLASS

Pros:

  • has a very fine applicator, good for applying really tiny spots of acid. 

Cons:

  • when opened they 'fume' (you must take great care not to breathe the fumes)
  • the bottles do not have childproof caps, you must keep them in the box when not in use and lock the box
  • If knocked over, all the acid will spill, causing great damage or injury
  • If dropped the bottle could smash
  • If over-heated (e.g. in the car in a heatwave) a bottle can explode
  • Expensive compared with the plastic bottles (same acid, same quantity)
  • Not popular, we don't make many, add 1 to 2 weeks to the delivery time. 

PLASTIC
(see plastic bottles)

Pros:

  • Much safer than glass bottles (if knocked over, it can only spill one single drop)
  • The bottles have childproof caps
  • Always in stock. 

Cons:

  • Dispenses drops of one size, you can't apply really tiny spots.

RESTRICTIONS ON SALES

Anyone over the age of 18 may buy acids for testing precious metals as part of their trade / business / profession. That includes organisations, large companies, small businesses, individual traders working from home, even collectors who trade by buying  and selling.

If  none of the above apply, you will need an EPP license from the Home OfficeThis is because acids can be used for making explosives.

RESTRICTIONS ON SHIPPING

We can only ship by road, to destinations covered by the UPS Dangerous Chemicals service. That includes nearly all of mainland Britain and most of mainland Europe.

We cannot ship by sea. That includes any island, unless it's connected to mainland Britain or mainland Europe by a road bridge.

We cannot ship by air. That includes some parts of the Highlands, all of Ireland (North and South) and anywhere outside Europe. This is because UPS do not operate a road service to these destinations, parcels go by air.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Goodmorning, i would like to ask if the acids for testing the gold are used after filing the metal with file or on the black stone? In addition, could you please tell me if you send in Greece? Thank you in advance.

    The acids are designed for testing the filed area of the item. But you can also use a black stone (touchstone).  We do not ship these (dangerous chemicals) to Greece.

  • Hi will the glass bottles fit into the wooden box that normally holds plastic bottles?

    Yes the glass bottles fit the boxes for the sets.

    They fit the 3-bottle box
    They fit the 4-bottle box
    They fit the 5-bottle box.
