Electroplating silver at home?

Sep 25, 2004 1 Replies

I need an easily brewed small quantity of electroplating solution for silver on copper without going to cyanide based commercial stuff (this is only for a couple of lumped tuned circuits and I dont have plated wire) and wondered if anyone had a homebrew recipe!?



I vaguely remember a solution made with film hypo being mentioned in the distant past in a magazine, anyone up on this or similar? TIA Charlie+


Any reason why solid wire wouldn't work? You'll probably find sourcing plated wire much easier than electroplating good quality low-resistance silver.
