Getting started with silver plating

[Murphy]

Wieland Wilaplat is probably your best solution in Europe. Certainly there is a means of purchasing them where you live. Direct contact for reseller names could work.

Thanks for your suggestion Murphy!

I have been trying to find resellers for Wilaplat, but all seem restricted to professional use.
Now I found a silver electrolyte via Tifoo.de in Europe.
Materials just arrived. Once DC power supply is in I’m ready for first tests.

Excellent. I wish you success Roy.

Some time has passed. Finally I managed to get a piece of copper nicely silver plated.
Polishing skills are yet to be developed, but pleased to get a decent layer of silver in place.

The Tifoo.de materials are easy enough and affordable for home use (https://www.tifoo.de/en-uk/silver-plating-solution)!
Also important – cyanide free

I use products from Wieland for silvering and degreasing. I use a big silver plate for the silvering ( big investment) . The plates are always moving during the proces.
