I tried plating some lantern parts takes lots of 95/5 solder best to find at a flea market. Placed app. 8 lbs in a old cast iron pot heated until liquid. Parts must be very clean no grease or oils on metal. You will need acid flux or zinc chlorite(sp). Best done outside use gloves, face shield and a fan to keep the fumes at bay. Having done this several times to get a few parts just right. I would not do it again. David
