He understood an was rather pissed at the maker of the video after I explained a few things to him, an showed him the GRF forum. I'm just glad he talked to me about it before trying it. He now has no desire to refine at all, after seeing the risks associated with it without studying your butt off an learning the proper way. Cause of some jackass claiming it was so easy, he could have put his wife, an two kids at risk.
Lots of good knowledge an videos out there, but a lot of bad ones to.

Here are a few systems on
ebay that always make me laugh:
Refine at Home Portable System with Fumes Purification for Scrap Gold Recovery | eBay
Refine at Home Portable System with Air Purification for Scrap Gold Recovery | eBay
Gold and Silver Refining Nox Wet Scrubbing System Brand New NO2 Lab Scrubber | eBay
While those I posted above are pretty obvious failures, this next particular system has sold hundreds of them, problem is that it doesn't work very well but worse, whenever you have a problem and attempt to talk with someone about it, there is no response. I have seen more posts on GRF on this refining system, from people desperate for help, than any other system. I know of two people who have had serious accidents using this system. So although I am posting these to make fun of them, I hope nobody takes any of this as an endorsement, and I would strongly suggest not buying any of these systems, but specially not this next one.

People will say whatever they have to, in order to separate you from reason, then next you from your money.
