<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 3515783, member: 15199"]If you have not dipped a coin before, read some of the threads on dipping. My best advice is to NOT use full strength out of the container until you know how fast the reaction can go. I start with a dilution of 10% ( 9 parts distilled water : 1 part EZ-est) in a separate safe bowl, and thus it takes about 15-30 seconds to see some change usually , rather than 2-3 seconds full strength, rinsing the dip off of the coin with running water ( tap is OK), If not enough ~ repeat. When happy, I rinse the coin with pure acetone and allow to air dry . Some insist on last step rinse only with water, however acetone carries the water away with it when it evaporate from the coin. Water residue just starts the process over again, so why rinse with water on the last step??? But, IMO., Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
