    Hey all,

    Trying to find myself a testing kit here in perth. I tried to buy an acid kit on Ebay but customs stopped the packaged and removed the acid, what was left was the digital scales and the filer.
    Had a look at the Gxl24 on ebay too, quite interested but concern customs will have a problem with the gells. Has anyone bought the gxl24 off ebay before or even bought one here in australia?

    Read previous threads on the XRF machines... very interesting thread. Amazing how the experts got on the forum to give us a better insight to it.... But one thing is for sure, its out of my budget.

    Any help on this matter would be great. Thanks guys

    I think you should be able to find something lime that locally. Have you tried mining supply stores?
