If you mix your solution too weak and you leave it on for 60 seconds and nothing happens (actually something DID happen, it was just too minuscule to notice or it wasnt a large effect), then you mix again with something slightly stronger. </p><p><br /></p><p>What me and Doug are talking about is how to theoretically &#039;dip&#039; one side of a coin. I said lay it on its side on a towel and apply dip with a dropper to the up facing side to cover that half. AKA dipping one side of the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Dougs response was that the dip is naturally too strong to cover the one side completely without ruining the coin. You cant drop it on and get it off fast enough without over dipping the coin, a general dip is only 1-2 seconds. He also mentioned that Matts method probably had to do with diluting the dip somehow, so I thought that if by diluting the dip with water, you could avoid the risk of over dipping the coin because you are starting on the opposite end of the spectrum. Instead of going full strength and only having 2 seconds to dip and rinse the coin, wouldnt cutting the dip down (diluting it), make it to where you can completely cover the coin, have a reaction with the diluted down dip and surface problem, and still remove the dip before it &#039;overdips&#039; that one side and ruins it. </p><p><br /></p><p>My method <i>sounds </i>like it would work out fine with a little trial and error and obviously starting on the diluted end of the spectrum instead of with a full strength or half-strength concoction. </p><p><br /></p><p>Am I imagining this scenario correctly? I cant really think of how else to halfway dip a coin without just using some sort of chemically protected glove and carefully dipping down until the one surface is covered. That also seems quite easy to do. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know they make plenty of gloves that dont react to harsh chemicals, even household nitirile gloves may work, i dont know off hand, but you can always test which gloves react with the dip by pouring some in a small cup and dropping the finger of a glove down in it (without your hand in the glove) to see if it starts to react. </p><p><br /></p><p>I just feel like this problem seems a little too trivial for Doug, and if thats the case, maybe I need to talk about my potential solutions before attempting them. I dont believe he would just say it cant be done without good reason.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
