I’m sure a lot of people have their own methods of what works best. Please share what works best for you and any additional notes to go along:
Electro Clean 120F 4 volts 2 minutes
Rinse in Distilled Water
Activator Room temperature no volt 30 seconds-2minutes
Rinse in Distilled Water
Rhodium Plate: 60F 4.5 volts 20 seconds or so, longest be a minute with multiple pieces
Rinse in Distilled Water
Steam and dry
I hear some people Rhodium plate at room temperature..? I am not familiar with that. I understand we don’t want to Rhodium to evaporate but other than that..

The Numbers
417 10K Gold
585 14 K Gold
750 18 K Gold
800 Silver
925 Sterling Silver
950/900 PLT
A good way to the “fine-ness”/percentage gold of any of these metals divide by pure metal (.024K)
Example: 14K Gold% .024 K= Roughly .585
Example: 10K/.024=750
Weight conversions
1 Pennyweight(DTW)=1.55 Grams
.643 Pennyweight(DTW)=1 gram Penny weight is a little more than a gram plus half itself
1Gram= .643 Pennyweight (DTW)
20 Pennyweights= 1 Troy ounce
31.1 grams= 1 Troy ounce
A good way to remember the conversion…. If someone can help me out, that would be fantastic!
