Gold Chloride (angel Gilding) Update

As some of you already know, I sell a book about making gold chloride (angel gild). From the few books I have sold so far, I have only heard back from one person as to their success in making and applying the gold chloride(angel gild).

This person has been able to as she says "produce and apply it just like ricks kit".

She has also informed me,through her attempts,of improvements to the technique of producing the gold solution from a gold solid. And as such I will be updating the book with a more detailed instruction that will contribute greatly to your success. To all those that have already purchased the book, I will be sending you an additonal page or two in the next few weeks. Not that the book is wrong, as its still viable as is, but, its always a quest of mine to provide the most reliable and up-to-date knowledge of the process.
And I feel that this information warrants it. When I make my next batch of gold chloride, I will be incorporating her techniques. I cant wait!!!

Sounds interesting!

We have been real busy since getting your book, so I am looking forward to playing now that things have become controllable!
I am curious to see what new found developments have surfaced!
