HI: 

    I have used the bombing process many times, Great care must be
    taken as the cyanide is rather reactive to acids and if you are
    exposed to it with flesh contact you can have the problem I have
    because of a poor training and working with people that could
    not understand the language. I was trained to control the acid
    by pouring cold water into the hydrogen peroxide cyanide and hot
    water. when the person did not cool the acid it went throught
    the reaction called bombing and went up my arm into my glove, 4
    yrs later my liver gave out and it has taken ten years to find
    the proof of the damage and then it may be too late. There is
    also the thought of what do I do with the spent acid? if you
    keep it liquid it can react again if conditions are right. the
    only way is to dry it! then you have the transportation to deal
    with. If I were you I would invest in a plating system with a
    stripping action. God Bless...Ringman John
