Questions on:Colloidal Gold

Can anyone knowledgable on Gold Colloids tell me if KCN will dissolve the Gold Colloid particle? If so, please tell me how to make it soluble in KCN or NaCN?
Respectfully,

KCN solution dissolves gold in general, so yes, I'd expect it to dissolve colloidal gold pretty quickly.

DavidJR, Thank You, I'll give it a try.
