<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2549607, member: 15199&quot;]I am getting the feeling that everyone seems to think these acid dips should be used at full strength. Well you can, but until you get experienced , dilute it. I dilute 5 or 10 water: 1 EZest ( Jeweluster) and start there. It takes longer, but you can rinse the coin with just water and carefully turn over and decide if you want to do it longer in the dip, repeat the dip until you are happy, and then rinse well with water ( no need for a base buffer since the acid is water based and washes off easily) , rinse in acetone to remove residual water( or not as you decide) and hold by the edge until it air drys. If you lay it flat, water spots may occur. </p><p>Using it full strength is like using acetylene torch to cook your hamburgers on the grill. Overkill.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
