Need PGC (potassium gold cyanide) gold salt

January 8, 2011

Hello,
I need some help. Does anybody knows where can I buy some PGC?
We have a small plating company that specializes in 24K gold plating (steal plating), I been having a hard time buying some PGC or gold salt. I can only find 24K Bright Gold Solution that is 15.55 grams per gallon, don't know the difference. Is it the same thing?

I really appreciate any help.

Juan.
