HI SADHU KRISHNAYYA

I read your question.

I am not a chemist so i can't tell you how to produce gold potassium cyanide. But I do have a perfect method for gold eplating using far less dangerous chemicals. If you want to use eplating using gold potassium cyanide you will have to take a lot of safety precautions. The method I use is much simpler.

I have experience with eplating thin layers of gold on top of gold and palladium substrates (thin is anything between 100 nm and a few microns). I use a commercially available eplating kit which is very easy to use.
