Silver Plating Solution/Formula

[Martivs]

Martin, have you considered buying a brush plating kit...electro plating with a swab basically.

I have not heard of them before, where do you get these kits? The results certainly do look spectacular. Can we assume that it has the same durability as commercial electroplating?

What chemicals are used? This seems to be my stumbling block as far as true electroplating is concerned. With all the recent safety and environmental regulations, the approach seems to be to make it near impossible for the consumer to obtain the chemicals - even if he/she uses and disposes/recycles them responsibly. I have worked with far more dangerous chemicals in my employment but that seems not to matter.

Thanks for bringing this method to my attention - it certainly looks very promising.
