Quick reference guide to set up your Gilding Salts


Please note these directions are in accordance with our plating unit, other systems may vary. See links below for necessary equipment and accessories for plating and further instructions.


1. Gilding Salts come in powder form which dilutes to one litre. 2. Ensure you have a clean one litre beaker and mix with 1000ml (1ltr) of distilled/deionised water.


3. Mix the powder complete to guarantee full effective results; any other mixture will weaken the full plating strength.


4. Gilding Salts must be heated in a plating unit to 60°C. Silver can be used at room temperature there is no need to heat up. 5. When plating with Gilding Salts it is essential to use a stainless steel anode 6. Whilst heating the plating solution evaporation may occur, in this instance simply top up with distilled/deionised water. 7. The voltage setting for plating with Gilding Salts is 4 to 6 volts. 8. Keep your solution covered when not in use and in a clean workshop environment to avoid contamination.

• Gilding Salts are corrosion/tarnish resistant solution and so is used universally across the world.


• Gilding Salts will plate on all carats of gold, platinum and silver.


• Gilding Salts will plate around a thousand rings depending on the size and surface area. This makes it a very economical 

1. It is essential to use the correct style pen when pen plating with a platinised titanium centre core. This is to obtain a full circuit contact and reduce the risk of contamination

3. Never touch or place your piece on a dirty surface once you have cleaned the item.


4. Electrolyte clean and Steam clean your surface before plating to get super bright 


5. We recommend regular house hold tissue to rest the pieces during plating.
