In experiments with electroplating the
silver coating seems not to adhere TO the
base. appearing in blisters; what causes
| this. and how can ii be prevented? 2 What
| do platers use to polish the silver coating

The cause, likely, is the presence of tar
nish or grease on the base metal when put

be rendered chemically clean with potash.
followed by acid. and for all but steel or
iron articles, cleansing is followed by a
slight coat given merely by submerglng
them in a dip" solution. Corrosive subli-
mate and cyanide of potassium (both deadly
poisonous) are dissolved In water for such a
dip. Then the first deposit of silver should
be given in striking" bath that is low in
silver and strong with cyanide. a striking
bath for steel articles is especially strong in
cyanide and extremely scant of silver. Pol
ished steel or iron is difficult to plate with
out blisters. or falling as electroplaters
style it. p The plated articles are first
secured lightly with coarse, clean sand, or
rough or chased surfaces scratched with

suds. Then they are FURNISHED with polished
| steel burnishers wet with soapsuds. or are
polished on rapidly revolving cloth buff
wheel fed with rouge. The latter method is
easier, but not productive of so good re-
| suits.
