Covering up the solder in a copper project
I am working on soldering copper joint for this project:
http://home.earthlink.net/~madur0/copperhood.jpg I was told that the exposed silver solder could be covered up or "plated" some how. Can someone clue me in as to where I can buy this and how it's done? Thanx in advance. |

The first step of triple chrome plating is plating copper. You just stop
there. This place sells kits: http://www.caswellplating.com/kits/triple.htm Karl "bitstream" wrote in message ...

One might consider brush plating. Ted Edwards has some experience in that regard and may be able to shed some light on the subject. Harold |

That won't work on silver solder. Copper sulfate will work on ferrous materials. Cupric chloride works on less electromotive metals, up to and including lead. Use a heavily copper-bearing silver solder, and you won't have to cover the joints. They'll look like they were fusion welded. LLoyd |
