In this video I obliterate some old silver jewelry and refine it using my homemade nitric acid to obtain some silver metal which I then magically transform into a real, high quality mirror while trying hard not to contaminate everything with copper.

Also, excuse me for my poor speaking, english is not my native language so I have some trouble speaking it, in case you don't understand something there are always subtitles made by me.
Please don't comment about how stupid I am to wear nitrile gloves when handling nitric acid, I am aware of the dangers and don't need hundreds of people trashing the comment section.
