Does anyone have experience with cyanide-free silver plating? How does it
compare?

Second question, does anyone know how to go about getting potassium

cyanide
in the UK? You used to be able to get it from a chemist's shop by signing

a
poisons register, but I don't know if that still holds - and chemists

don't
seem to sell that kind of thing any more.

Can't answer your question about cyanide free plating, but here in the
States the jewelry supply houses generally sell plating solutions. It's not
exactly an economical way to get where you're trying to go, but better than
never getting there. It's getting almost impossible to buy chemicals of
any kind here in the States.

You might consider talking to a plating house to see if they'd be willing to
sell you what little you may need, assuming it's not against regs in your
country. Dunno.
