23. COLD METHOD OF SILVERING IRON WITH SILVER-PLATE

Polish the iron toy wish to silver, then damp it over with soldering
fluid (receipt No. 21) When this is done give it a coat of No. 22
solder. This is done by laying a piece of cold solder on the iron,
and spreading it over with a heated soldering iron, when by this
means you get the iron nicely plated with solder, then lay on
your silver-plate evenly, and gently rub it over with the heated
soldering iron, and it will become firmly united with the solder as
the solder is with the iron, so that you have the iron beautifully
plated with silver with very little cost or trouble.


24. HOT METHOD OF SILVERING IRON WITH SILVER-PLATE

First polish the iron you wish to silver, wet it well over
with No. 21 soldering fluid; then having procured that kind of
silver-plate which is tin on one side and silver on the other, place
it evenly on, with the tined side next to the iron, then place it
on the fire until the silver-plate melts down, then at once take it
from the fire, and it will be firmly attached to the iron, and will
be excellent plate; yet No. 23, the cold method, is to be preferred
in most cases.
