    despite John's, rather terse and almost insulting, summation of
    standard testing solutions, I find that having a set of premixed
    acids on hand is very useful..if one can't afford the $600. 00and up
    electronic metals testers that is..One recommendation though is as
    soon as any of you that choose to use the "nasty" stuff, buy it,
    have some acid bottles with glass stoppered tops on hand to squeeze
    the solutions into, as they are packed in plastic..which the acids
    will readily ( a a couple of months) eat through..Most sets come in a
    wood box too, so don't put your face right over the box when opening
    it unless you're looking for a really bad high, or trip to the
    emergency room. the glass stoppered acid bottles are about 1. 50 each
    from sciplus. com..or their labware site..and fit back into the wood
    box..and then you can open it with your face directly over it
    -without worry..
