<< Aqua Regia is not a suppressed technology secret. It is commonly used and

around with unless you follow safety precautions. It degrades fairly
quickly as the nitric evolves as an orange/brown vapor. HCl by itself
dissolves silver very quickly. In both cases adding some heat speeds up the
process. You do not want to be breathing the vapors from any dissolution of
metal.

true except how many people know about aqua regia? not many for obvious
reasons it is not surpressed like orgone but there is definitely an effort to
keep it out of public conciosness your right about it's effects and
storability though still i thought it would be useful.
