    I looked at your blog to read about metal halide case lighting, and
    read on about silver and plating. It always seems a shame to me to
    hide one metal under another (in this case, for those who didn't see
    the blog, silver under palladium under rhodium
    http://tinyurl.com/2dxeez). Maybe you should experiment with
    platinum sterling. I haven't used it (I patina most of my silver) but
    folks here say it is wonderful, a pleasure to work with and quite
    resistant to tarnish if I remember right. The extra expense would be
    offset, I should think, by the savings in time and materials if you
    don't have to plate. 

    Plus, if you use it, I know you'll report back to all of us and
    we'll all benefit from your effort! 

Noel
