We have started on our metal plating journey! This is a walk through of how we do a silver on sterling silver shop finish.
We will keep you updated on everything so you guys have a starters guide to plating, electro etching, and electro polishing.
Thanks for watching! - Shannon & Dan

the information that you offer is super valuable

@bling6646 2 года назад

Thank you for the video; it was really helpful. I just have two questions for you: Don't you need an activator before doing the last step (plating)? And lastly. Can you make a video for gold plating on silver? lots of thanks

I would like to see all of your videos, and ask : platinum versus rhodium ? Cheers, Rikard.

"Do as I say, Not as I do" dude, you have the perfect prerequisite to be our next prime minister.

Hi, I need to know details about your magnetic thing that warms up and rotates !

@ClearMindJewellery Месяц назад

The magnetic stirrer is in our amazon list www.amazon.ca/shop/clearmindjewellery?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfclearmindjewellery_06FK6FGFH0V6AHJ2HDXE

@PhilipMonk-q9w Месяц назад

When talking about the anodes you say that the piece you are plating should always be connected to the negative, but when doing the plating you appear to have the piece connected to the positive. Can you please clarify?

Nice - e demo on how to use Tivaclean - ty.

Why I want to set up a home plating system is because I deal with a lot of antiques I want to restore. Many of which have had their original plating worn off over a century or more. The biggest barrier to me has been finding a cheap electrical system and understanding it properly. Any advice on either building one from scratch or an economical one to buy? I see in your video that proper micro-voltage adjustments are important, not just applying a current. Where can I find information on the proper voltage ratings for different metals you want to plate with silver? Specifically, I have a solid copper 1800's tea box that was originally silver plated that I want to re-plate. Any advice for that?

Muy bueno bro, gracias

@kamelsamer5768 2 года назад

I believe the light green solution is some sort of nickel alkaline (nickel carbonate or nickel hydroxide) solution because alkaline can remove grease and oil and you also used nickle with nickle solution to keep things ruining?

What volts and amps are used for cleaning?

@LavLean 3 месяца назад

I plated silver ,but it turned dark. Its doesn’t turn shiny white.

@simonbartlett8759 Год назад

Hi Dan, I have a magnetic pin tumbler. How long would you tumble a piece like that ring for after plating ?

@sarahbreivis9691 Год назад

Why is the platinum titanium anode in the cleaning solution? I've never used an anode in the cleaner. (with gold plating). But, I'm new to silver on silver. Is it necessary?

@arturghukasyan88 2 года назад

How dou you adjust the amp? You put it on maximum?

@tiffannystipe9626 Год назад

Okay I have another question My DC power source has fine and coarse amps and volts but it tells me that I have to get up to like a lot of volts to get any amps going so I'm trying to stay around one volt for silver Do you think that's right because the amps don't show up at all until I'm almost to two volts?

@jacquesomersavard7257 Год назад

is it possible to do so on stain glass lead around the glass

@leonploetzer7900 2 года назад

could you substitute the magnetix mixer through a ultrasonic cleaner?

@ClearMindJewellery 2 года назад

For the cleaning stage absolutely, if we had our smaller ultrasonic at the time we would have used that with the Tivaclean.

@tiffannystipe9626 Год назад

@Clear Mind Jewellery ok so I have a question, I used this method, I've watched your video like 4 times lol, but my plating was white, after tumbling it flaked off? I used the same tumbling method you just mentioned. What did I do wrong?

@ClearMindJewellery Год назад

The current could have creeped higher, sometimes it does that. It also depends on the size and placement of anode. Sounds like it was to thick.

@tiffannystipe9626 Год назад

@@ClearMindJewellery thank you!

@puctbridge Год назад

Yeah, I hate the chemical oxidization! Impossible to get off without just plating over it, and I just don't like that aged silver look. The ring looks so much better all bright and shiny

@arabiclearner711 2 года назад

dissapointing that it came out so dark, you would think there has to be a way to plate with fine silver that comes out bright white from the jump

@TinkerInTheShop Год назад

There are solutions called "brighteners" added to the main solution, that give a bright result during plating.

@eworman42 2 года назад

Thanks! How much can you reuse this solution? Could you have it last longer if you used a silver anode instead of a steel one to replenish the silver in solution or is that a no-go for this specific solution?

@ClearMindJewellery 2 года назад

The solution we used in this video specifically called for a stainless steel anode, and it didn't last as long as we'd have liked its hard to gauge or express exactly how long. We went for one that was specifically cyanide free, so it needed some special treatment, however with the more hazardous plating solutions that is typical practice, to have a big chunk of silver/gold as the anode which replenishes the solution as you use it.

@eworman42 2 года назад

@@ClearMindJewellery That's great, thanks! We've been looking to do something cyanide-free in Canada and it's been tough finding a source for mats. We're going to go with Gesswein's solution too, so this is super helpful :) guess there will still be some experimenting to do!
