hello in this video I want to show you how to silver plate in this case a gold chain
chain in this case bracelet or what ever you'll recall I think it's bracelet
anyway right let's start this is a gold plated bracelet or chain I
would say whatever you call it it has massive chain so you can see it's quite
big no I will show you step-by-step how to silver platters or you can do it if
it's simple you can do the gold plating it's the same steps basically right
first of all I'll put it in the ultrasonic cleaner for about 8 minutes
or so what is 480 seconds something like there's six eight minutes we do
I turned the sound a little bit down because it makes a horrible noise this
ultrasonic cleaner anyway I'll leave it in there for a while as I said eight
minutes but it's done take it off and then make sure you clean it very well
after it because to get rid of all you know the the ultrasonic cleaner solution
and everything else so make sure it is clean so I pull on what I do hot water
out of the top washing up liquid and then
wash it wash it very well wash it very well inside at all I mean but I dunno
I've turned a change change anti-clockwise in a minute you will see
in this big change you can do this to get everything on every single clean or
whatever is left out maybe even do it maybe left then you can see I turning
left turning that so this means if change it so opens up this is how flight
later as well so you can see the inside which you normally don't see in the
change this is very important I see I think unless you do a shit job and then
some people don't care really but I tried to do a new always the best
I could do must be done everything must be plated and it's difficult to plate
them once in a tart believe it or not because I think he must turn them you
must turn them in a tongue and you need to stretch them as well if they're not
stretched 100% then you may lose contact especially with small chance but
bracelets or necklaces make sure it's proper cleaned so I use hot water rinse
it very very well and yeah as you can see well you can't see me but
is clean of course right why don't you know is I use first of all I put a swap
on I'll show you how it work how I do it it with a silver first of all I use a
little bit of silver solution this contains the solution silver providing
solution you play between two and a half of three and a half walls
I set the rectifier of three walls in this case somewhere in the middle use
the brand new swap you can get it from Eva for my ebay shock for my website you
know and carbon electrode which this one is used you can see is quite small as
getting smaller and smaller and thinner thinner when he uses more than one
eventually they will break they're quite fragile so be careful so
now a song could because it's fresh um a fresh swap so what I dunno I so could
very well put the cables on plus cameras of course on the handle - Kevin will go
on the item of course so now a so could leather very well so
how much I put in there 20 mil maybe 25 move 30 mil maybe no no not much more
since it was anyway it's very cheap I think it contains 30 35 grams of silver
per litre on the gold when I sell is 8 grams or 12 8 grams in this case this
one is about 30 I think it saw him plates very very quickly yes he will see
you in a minute so I had a hole in there anyway because I've done this of course
many times before I used it to Miller to million made of copper wire in this case
which is easy to bend put it on there which I connect in a minute the - cable
of course on there and make a little hook which I can't do it with my hands
because it's quite thick so I use a liar bend it a little bit it's quite activity
one but never mind summer so you can get contamination really anyway well it
doesn't matter in this case really so put the cable on now put this now hook
it in you know this is how I do this because you need to put it a little bit
under pressure a little bit otherwise he could lose contact while you while
you're plating you could do it in your hand there's another way to do it but
this is not the best way so you can see a hole it's not the best solution
because normally are I secure the whole tray somehow so now I start playing
technique you can see straight away colors changing from college to silver
straight away you can just about see it
it goes very quickly on there so the plates about one half maybe with more
microns per minute if you played exactly for one
on the same area not stop and don't move around anywhere else
basically the swaps will eventually he considers tarnish a little bit if they
call a little bit yellowish but there's nothing to worry about it's normal so
now I tried to do I look always at a rectifier by the way now I try to do the
the rest of the list the other part of the chain and in a minute I change it
anyway I swap it around to make sure I'll play the other side as well so this
one's you I played the other at the other side now
which is not really played yet so I turn it around played this side yeah
and the same again I played depends if you wear it a lot I would play it for at
least I don't know it's hen minutes believe it or not I would take my time
to put to build up you go over and over again to build up a really nice thick
layer the more you play the thicker it gets if you play like four or five
microns on it it will last a little while and doesn't wear off as quickly
you know more you played the thicker gets unless it wears off of course so
you can plate well I've played silver in the tank with fully played before test
plate of about 500 microns this means you see the thickness it was very thick
you see the different thickness so it becomes solid basically anyway because
there people are saying it's not wheels yes it it's not it is real silver is
real gold what we do but the plating a self thin it wears off is it's nothing
to do with this stuff what we put on it's real silver the gold what we put on
it's real gold but it's a very very thin layer so of course we well unless you
plate a massive massive amount on there look now what I do now I turn it left
turn it to the left this is why I hooked it in a smaller the chain to make sure
get the inside of each little what are you calling Chains you know
I'll play tomorrow so no holders to train with my you can see it I will just
be one harm with my belly as well yeah and how up like basically the
inside and areas which you normally you know buddy don't seen as areas anyone
unless you turn the change a little bit to chain each little each little bit as
you can see so this means now they are plated inside for swap is moving a
little bit yeah and then underneath becoming I should turn it and do it
again but make sure you take your time though and make sure you played for a
while again I would in this case oh I would spend another four or five minutes
there maybe all need to play this area so when you're done put it back to
normal and then yeah you're basically more or less done but I turn out there
is another of course there are never two sides of it there's the front of the
back and then left and right side because it's quite big chain but it's
smaller chain you don't need to do this because he played everything anyway this
one now I played this one this side just to make sure it's already covered
because you reach it with its mops anyway underneath so take your time
again but this one where's not off it doesn't wear off as quickly as the other
sides of course when you're in contact constantly on the skin with this
goodness chain and it wears off quicker so then make sure when you're done rinse
it very well and you know rinse it and basically done now basically though and
make sure you drive where you work very well and then
yeah make sure you drive very well because if you leave it like this wet
and evil overnight you isness maybe tarnished although I'll
show you know how it looks like and it chains inside what I want us to turn
earlier so if normally don't see it when you
have to chain like this you don't see it really but look what I do about a minute
hold on now I turn them just to show you it looks it looks brilliant it looks
it's nice and shiny I'll turn them inside now we see the hook inside the
chain each chain inside and it's plated her that's what normally if you don't
turn them it will not be played as in them you will maybe see a little plaque
area there yeah and if you wanted to cold plating say for example you have a
sill or now on this one you but I told played you do the same way basically
exactly the same way any information
about this if you want to know anything about poaching also on plating kids I
sell on ebay I sell on my website all the details are in my description and or
put it up here now I put some up here and yeah all swaps everything you can
get it from there any questions just ask and yeah that's it basically see you in
