  • Thank you for this video. I'm studying silver refining in the Bible so this a great visual. I imagine this is how it was done or similar to the process mentioned in the Scriptures. Other videos are available with modern methods but this is much better for my lesson.
  • Thank you for this video!!! I looked it up to help me understand Psalm 12!! Wow! Powerful!!
  • @ProfaneGod
    Try heating the muriatic acid to boiling to make it more effective to get the iron out better its a refining technique used by chemical refiners.
  • @snarky_user
