how can I plate silver?

If you can get your hands on a solution of silver nitrate, it should be pretty easy.\n\nYou'll need a battery (9 volt should do it) and two lengths of wire.  Run one wire from the positive terminal of the battery and attach it to a silver electrode (available in science shops) or any piece of silver.  If you can't get the silver electrode, just use the copper wire.  This will plate some of the copper onto the ring, though.  Attach the other wire to the ring and to the negative battery terminal.  Lower the ring and the silver electrode into the silver nitrate solution (without letting them touch) and wait.\n\nThe positive silver ions in the solution will be attracted to the negative ring and should plate the ring nicely.

Most efficient? If you don't have a lab, then I would assume just doing your best at grinding off the top layer, and trying to melt the shreddings down into a >70% gold alloy. Since gold's melting point is OVER 1000 degrees Celsius, I suppose your best bet is to heat the grindings as much as possible, and then pounding them together into a single mass (like a black-smith...or 'gold-smith'). But you have to realize HOW LITTLE gold is actually on there. The layer is so thin...sometimes merely 2-3 micrometers. You're gonna get a lot of impurities, such as nickel and copper. Gold-plating is usually done on copper or silver; and in the case of copper, a thin layer of nickel is placed below the gold. And since the melting point of nickel isn't that far from that of gold, and copper's is almost EXACTLY that of gold's, you're gonna get a random mixture of crap. I imagine the process is more trouble than it's worth. I'd just go buy gold from alfa aesar or somewhere like that for cheap-as-free.

Use the Nickel Metal..Put your steel into a electrolysis solution of Nickle  electrolytes and charge it with electric anode and cathodes.

Mounting?  What about roasting?

They don't issue 24K gold, as it is too soft.\n\nIt can be 24K plated, but you should be able to twist it with ease.

Put the tablecloth on first. Make sure it's clean.\n\nPut the plates into each position where someone is expected to be seated.\n\nTo the right of each plate, place a neatly folded napkin. On top, put a  spoon, a knife and a fork.\n\nTo the top right, place a clean glass.\n\nIn the center, put a nice flowered centerpiece.\n\nTo the left and right at the long ends, place a nice candlestick with a long white candle.

One method is using bimetallic strips of metals that can stand very high temperature. Bimetallic strips bend when the temperature changes.

Actualluy there are several methods possible.\n1) there is the old gold pan technique where you slowly swirll water in a flat pan and let the centrifugal forces take out the lighter materials. 2) If the gold particles are very fine there is the electrolysis method where you submerge metal rods with a current in a slurry of the gold content sand and the gold particles will attach themselves to the rod. 3) In ancient days they used a sheeps skin subermeged in running water and let the sand pass over , the gold particles remain in the sheep skin (maybe you hear the famous antique greek story of the golden Fleece..thats where this came from) you can use the mercury reduction method which is quite dangerous and not very environmentally sound.

The answer seems to be to mix the gold with silver and wrap it in aluminum foil, thus eliminating the possibility of contamination.\n\nSee: http://www.gold.org/jewellery/technology/assay/

Contains nothing but the white paper. The black to gray areas contain silver metal. The silver is present as black particles rather than the "silver" appearing metal on flatware, jewelrey, and mirror backs. After the black to gray areas are developed by reducing silver compounds to metal, the print is "washed" with sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3, to remove excess silver.

The process of depositing a thin film of metal on glass is centuries old.  Aluminum is now used as well as silver.  It is a little different for telescope mirrors than for mirrors used in dressing rooms and bathrooms, but basicaly:\n\n“Virtually all mirrors for interior use are manufactured by the conveyor, wet deposition method. Annealed or fully tempered glass is thoroughly cleaned by the application of cleaners and passing contact with oscillating scrub brush units. After the glass is cleaned and rinsed, the surface of the glass is sensitized with a diluted solution of tin chloride. This surface treatment allows for the deposition of silver. Silver nitrate is sprayed onto the sensitized surface of the glass along with other chemical configurations. The final outcome is the formation of a uniform silver layer on the glass.”\n\nSee the site below for additional details on the mirroring process.
