Not to worry. I won't be smelting in open air - all closed system with scrubbers. Everything will be contained, recycled, reprocessed.
I'll be doing very tiny quantities, 10 grams. I will begin with simple amounts, and work my way up to complex alloys/impure slag.
Was talking to a person that uses mercury to recover gold, and he said to be very careful as his small chemistry set exploded on him one day.
I will be doing a lot of research before attempting things like mercury/cyanide/acids.
Read this just before joining. I do understand your concerns, thank you.
