kobblers Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 I agree with Patsy; just redo it, but this time, try not to engrave a picture of a phone, too. Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers.keys Posted November 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 It's engraved directly onto a Chippendale salver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 You have 2 options and neither are cheap. 1 , If it is Silver plated send it to Swatkins and they will replate it for you then re-engrave 2, Buy a new salver and re-engrave. We all make mistakes, but it is how you solve them that makes you a professional. This is an expensive mistake. Happens to us all.

Oh and either way consider getting the supplier to engrave it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hibsjo(SCO) Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 You can get an electric pen plating system once polshed out you make an electrical contact with the plate and pen and then wipe on silver plating liquid. loads of vidoes online carry on!

Bronco78th Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Does this work on deeper cuts? do you just keep layering up the silver? Just been watching a tutorial using the pen system, very cool and I have a bunch of silver plated keyrings I screwed up that I'm wondering now if I could recover them.

hibsjo(SCO) Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 not so good on deep cuts. you are polishing the layer of plate off as you normally dont go through the plate while engraving so all your doing is replating so if youve gone through to the base metal its more difficult carry on!

Bronco78th Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 cheers, no they are not through to the base metal. (very good plate for a change ) Will have to look into this in the new year. Kind Regards, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers.keys Posted November 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 I have spoken to swatkins this morning and I have been informed that this nickel plated salver cannot be replated. Mick Friend and Bronco78th 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
