Thanks for posting this resource. Cheaper and better. I like the sound of that. I noticed in your own blog site you mention using a local plating company. I don’t see many mentions by contemporary daguerreotypists to doing their own plating. Caswells has home plating supplies. Any thoughts on the value or problems with home silver plating?

Caswell has a dip plating kit for about $700-800 that would work. I decided that doing my own electroplating was entirely beyond the realm of sanity. I’ll leave it to the experts.
