Electroplate lead
2003
I make stained glass suncatchers. I would like for the finish on the lead to be bright silvery or chrome. Is there a way for me to electroplate the pieces myself?

No plating is very expensive to set up and expensive to maintain. Find a plating shop that has done this work. One of the largest problems is cracking the glass by thermal shock; out of a hot soak clean and into a cold water rinse.
