[Jewelry making - Article 00146] - [Orchid] Electroforming 925 Silver

    Does anyone have any consistent success in electroforming 925 silver
    or will 999 only work. Which proprietary chemicals are the best
    generally. I am using 10-12asf (same as for plating) and copper
    forming seems to work broadly ok but I am having so much trouble
    with silver. Not sure if its just me not manageing the electrolyte
    properly or if I am being unrealistic in trying to get silver up to
    1mm. 

    Any small scale (I know big commercial outfits can do it with their
    own 'secret' electrolytes) operation have any good successes with
    purchased electrolytes ? 

thanks
Keith Elliott
