RESTRICTIONS
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 licence from the Home Office. This is because acids can be used for making explosives.

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-
On the gold testing acid how many cc do we get for this price you offer, per bottle, and how much would it be for the full set. Kind regards.
The bottles are exactly 5ml but we do not sell them by volume (for which there are strict Trading Standards regulations) we sell them per bottle.
Also, acid doesn't behave like water - 5ml is enough for 100 to 150 tests.
Full sets: Gold testing kits (complete sets - including Silver testers) | Quicktest
You do need to start with a full set because:
a) for safety you need the secure lockable box, do not leave loose bottles of acid lying around!
b) individual bottles are just 'refills' to go in the boxes, they do not come with acessories or instructions. -
is this ok for testing palladium
Yes. It's the green (platinum/steel/palladium) bottle that tests for Palladium.
Ensure that you start with a complete set so that you have the safety-box, accessories and full instructions.
