Part 6/8:
Final Post-Plating Steps and Results
After removing the object from the solution, Paul recommends an oven cure at 350°F for a finishing touch, which helps set the silver layer and smooth out the coating. He showcases various finished parts—some with fine, even silver plating, others less ideal—highlighting the importance of patience, precision, and attention to detail.
He concludes with a nod to the DIY spirit: all results presented are achieved without editing tricks or special effects, emphasizing transparency and authenticity in his process. He also mentions that more advanced or thicker coatings require longer times and perhaps higher voltages, but the foundational principles remain the same.
