do i cook it longer

[Thisguy27]

do u know what i would do to correcrt

[kephra]

Since i dont know what you did, i cant say how to fix it.
What exactly did you do?

[Thisguy27]

250ml cold distilled water
1 ml gold chloride (20) drops
10 drops 1 M sodium carbonate
20 drops of corn syrup mixture (1/2 water and 1/2 corn syrup)


i did this method my half half mix what with 100 ml of kareo corn syrup

i took the baking soda cooked it for 45 min in pirex mixed 12.4grams in this enough distilled water to get the 100ml

i did 1 ml of gold, .5ml of sodium, 1ml or mix microwave 2.06 min

[Thisguy27]

second time cooked for 4:11 got a ruby red

[Thisguy27]

first - 4th try going from left to right

[Thisguy27]

i add 250 ml of distilled water dropping it from 40 to 20ppm from left to right  attemps 2,3,4 on number 4, .10ml less of everything

[kephra]

Now you got ruby red!
Did you get your gold chloride from SaltLakeMetals?

You first jar looks as dark as 40 ppm colloidal gold, but I can't tell the color. 
It should have no taste either.... not metallic tasting.
It should just have the sweet taste of success

[Thisguy27]

the first one had .20 ml more thats why its a little darker.
yes i got from salt lake metals thank you for linking me to them they are amazing

[Thisguy27]

why doesnt everyone do it this way that has access to gold chloride

[Thisguy27]

it kinda take like cotton candy

[kephra]

Not everyone can get gold chloride, and its a little cheaper to make it from a gold wire, but the quality isn't quite as good, and it takes an investment in the equipment.

i cant find the link to how to store colloidal gold once its made. do i keep in fridge? is it light sensitive? thanks again

   to my understanding ionic is light and temp sensitive. colloidal gold is fine, btw i think i would rather keep it in clear glass just because if there is a color change u would see it b4 anything.
