Original And Genuine Silver Plating
Galvanism Simplified
Dissolve
one ounce of Nitrate of Silver in Crystal in twelve ounces of soft
water. Then dissolve in the water two ounces of Cyanate of Potash.
Shake the whole together and let it stand until it becomes clear. Have
ready some half-ounce vials, and fill them half full with Paris White
or fine Whiting, then fill up the bottles with the liquid, and it is
ready for use. The Whiting does not increase the coating power; it only
helps to clean the articles and to save the silver fluid by half
filling the bottles. The above quantity of materials will only cost
about $1.50, so that the fluid will only cost about three cents a
bottle.
