[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 149882, member: 147"] Different guys have different opinions on whether carpet or backed moss is best. My personal opinion is backed moss is more efficient in trapping the gold, and so long as it's loose woven will release the gold far more efficiently than the fibres in marine carpet. Just my own experience and I've used both over a long period. Multiple layers of carpet/moss/underlay etc will not make the setup more efficient....pick a single one that suits you best. Deep "V" at 10 to 15 deg on the cleanup sluice will work fine and a Ball Valve is the best regulator for the water flow. A uniform spray bar covering the full width of the sluice will give best overall results. You're first cup full of concentrate will soon tell you the optimum water flow for the concentrates, but be sure to have them classified down to a uniform size, and preferably through a 1/8" sieve.
