DESCRIPTION
Silver plating solution, rub it on, and it doesn't rub off!
Works best on copper-based metals, brass, bronze, EPNS (electroplated nickel-silver) and Sheffield Plate.
Works on nickel providing the nickel hasn't be processed with a coating.
Will not work on chrome or steel (it goes on...it comes off)
Will not work on filigree (it doesn't like the gaps).
This is a 'consumable' and cannot be returned, so before buying, find out what your item is made of.
See an article about cleaning and plating silver.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Will this work on 9ct gold
Yes.
But why would anyone want to plate 9ct with silver? -
Is it ok to use on spoons that will be used?
Yes.
-
Do I need anything other than a cloth and the silver plating solution? I thought you needed a magnet or electrode or something?
Yes, just a cloth or cotton wool buds, it's not electroplating.
-
Hello! Would this ship to Latvia?
No.
-
How is the silver plate applied to the item?
A soft cotton cloth, cotton wool, even tissue.
I find that cotton wool works best but it soaks up an awful lot of the liquid. A cotton cloth is more economical. -
Will it work on silver plated forks where the silver plating is wearing off.
Yes.
