gold plate kit medallion
Simbox,
I was not trying to discourage you or tell you that it doesn't work, and when I said that the only practical way to get silver into solution was cyanide I was wrong, many years ago I formulated an immersion bath, ( the process you are talking about), using silver nitrate, silver disolved by nitric acid, it worked fine but the deposit was so thin that it really wasn't practical in my situation, (industrial).
I am familiar with quite a few chemical coating processes, but I am by no means an expert.

and oh by the way copper migrates through gold quite easily,and a 1 or 2 atom film would not even be visibly yellow, it needs to be at least 3 (sorry about this) microinches (0.000003)", thick before it is visible I worked on this at 2 companies
