- The last time I silver plated a mouthpiece it was stupid expensive. I found this stuff on Ebay that looked like a cheaper alternative...

"Mouth piece cost me $60NZD... cost me 13 pounds, which is about 5 or 6 kg"
Um. You didn't even follow the directions that you READ in the beginning of the video. I've used this product before. It DOES work.
"Which is around 5 or 6 kg." I'm laughing so hard right now 😂😂
Such poor camera work the copper plate looks silver most of the time.
You should had cleaned it with alcohol instead of the brass polish. I'm pretty sure that stuff has oils in it as I also use it. Not sure that stuff works but if it's gonna you definitely need to clean it better.
That's like putting polish on a car then trying to get paint to stick....
If it really had silver in it, you would have black fingers now. I'd recommend using gloves when you try stuff like this. Anyway, if it sounds too good to be true - it probably ain't.
You applied it completely wrong... Also; Do you want to develop an app?
You should silver plate an older instrument, just to see if theres any different results
The metal polish might have hurt. You're supposed to clean with alcohol to remove oil and grease, not just polish it. I've seen people use it successfully, maybe not that brand. Silver should stick if done right.
I have used this very successfully - it works in about a minute.
Trent - you made an error there...the surface needs to be completely CLEAN prior to application of a chemical silver plater.
I use a quality degreaser (after removing debris with highest grit scotchbrite - The even micro scratches help a lot). Then a quick wipe 91% iso. Sometimes a tack cloth.
I bought a bottle of this and it worked fine. I tried it on a VERY old brass rim from an antique pickelhaube helmet. It didn't seem to work at all at first so I kept repeating the process and finally it got more and more silver. The metal was initially brown.
Thank you for making this video! The video with the comments are super helpful.
I haven't used this particular product but I've used one in a white bottle that is great for restoring mouthpieces. No, it did not look like the pics but it definitely removes the issues of playing on raw brass. It doesn't do well with already polished material, also.
Thanks for taking the time to share
Try this on raw brass or unlacquered finish instruments
Lost it at the 5 to 6 kg
To deposit silver effectively in this way I have in the past when resilvering clock face chapter rings used a product called horosilv a two powder process. When finished you can polish to a beautiful shiny silver using silver polish, it seems to give a good deposit.
