GLASS Bottles (refills)

SUMMARY ** Special, allow up to 2 weeks for delivery ** THESE ARE NOT STANDARD BOTTLES! These are glass bottles, not the standard plastic bottles (see the tab “PLASTIC OR GLASS?”). Also, these are refill bottles (for ‘refilling’ the wooden box that came with our original set) - never just buy loose bottles, you need the lockable box for safety, plus the instructions and accessories.   TRADE ONLY. Anyone over the age of 18 may buy acids for testing precious metals for trade, business or professional use but we might need to verify this - see "Restrictions" for details. DETAIL If you don't know what each bottle is for, and how to use it, you are ordering the wrong item. Please order a complete set so that you have the accessories, instructions and safety precautions. This product is a refill bottle only. The 9ct fluid is also known as the WHITE fluid. The 'silver' fluid is also known as the AMBER fluid. The 18ct fluid is also known as the 18ct-24ct fluid or the BLUE fluid. The 'platinum' fluid, also known as the GREEN fluid. The 8ct fluid, also known as the CLEAR fluid. For details of what each of these do, please see the description of each set. PLASTIC OR GLASS BOTTLES? GLASS BOTTLES Pros: Has a very fine applicator, you can apply a tiny spot of acid (e.g. for fine chains).  Cons:  Has a very fine applicator, you can only apply one tiny spot of acid at a time, which means that, for most items, you will need to apply three or four spots -  quite tedious. The bottles do not have childproof caps, you must take extra care to keep them away from children: keep them in the box when not in use and lock the box If an open bottle is knocked over, all the acid will spill, causing great damage or injury If dropped the bottle could smash if over-heated (e.g. in a hot car) it could explode. PLASTIC BOTTLES Pros: If knocked over, it can only spill one drop If dropped it can't smash If over-heated it can't explode Childproof caps Includes the 'Use By" date Cons: Dispenses drops of one size (exactly 0.03ml...every time), you can't apply smaller drops.    RESTRICTIONS RESTRICTIONS ON SALES Anyone over the age of 18 may buy acids for testing precious metals as part of their trade, business or profession.
