It seems that silver chloride is the main ingredient.
Silver chloride is used in ion exchange, or flash plating. It may be
used in electroplating, but I never used it in electroplating.
Silver cyanide is used in smooth electroplating, (electronic and
decorative) the most common form of plating..
Silver Nitrate is also used in electroplating, but produces a rough,
crystalline surface and is only used in industry AFAIK.
Cyanide solutions are dangerous! Extremely dangerous. It only takes a
drop of something acetic to release cyanide gas which is odorless and
colorless. Observe all safety precautions in the MSDS for the chemicals
used and use in a properly ventilated area. I did all my work in a fume
hood.
I did all the silver plating for the company I worked for in the early
days, a good 50 years ago.

Hardy....
I have used cool amp, but switched to SilverSmith.
There are two versions: commercial version which contains cyanide and is
faster/better, and then the consumer version which has no cyanide.
I've not used the non-cyanide version, so can't comment on how well it
works.
I can say that the commercial/business version is excellent; fast, easy to
apply and very effective.
Good luck, amigo,

All,
Has anyone used this power? If so, what is your opinion/facts of how your
project turned out? Any special precautions needed?
Thanks ahead of time.
