Whether it's worthwhile electrically depends on the frequency. At 144MHz, the
skin depth is 0.2 mil (0.0002 inch) and you need about 5 skin depths to keep
99% of the current in the silver, or about 1 mil i.e. 0.001 inch. At 1.8 MHz,
you need about 0.009 inches for 5 skin depths....
But it looks a lot nicer than oxidised copper.

I've used Cool-Amp powder for many years. It works fine, is easy to
use. Seems non-toxic, although I always wear gloves. No ventilation
needed. I think the coating is thinner electroplated silver.
