Ratio for making tin

Post by Roderick Treece »

Awhile back Dave Smith was kind enough to give me his formula for making Tin Solution. Being deslexic I think I may have written it down wrong.

.8 grams Stannous Chloride I think it should be .08
1000 Mil H2O

Thanks

Roderick

Rod.
0.8 GRAMS PER 1000 ML is all that is needed. This amount I tested for the removal of vinyl only to stop any jagged edge of the silver glow line.
You would not need to use as much for regular silvering ,maybe 0.5 to 6 would be enough.
Hope this helps mate.

One go's down to ones local head shop and buy a small pocket scale for 20.00. Works great.Man I never knew there was so many choices in bongs. Good thing I never used one.

Haha! Rod please give me a break. I am trying my udmost not to make to many language mistakes in spelling and style.
If you want I can proceed in Dutch?... One might...

Dave,
I will look for ONE :wink:
The first time, I pilled up 4 grams and devided it in 16 bits...
A bit strange, but since then I roughly took the same amount.

Eric,
I wasn't making fun of you. You spoke very well on your reply. When we make fun of you you'll know it !

Mine is called ProScale 222 " The deuce"

I originally had a triple beam scale but back then you never weighed anything small than a gram. Glad those days are over.

De arend verloor nooit zo veel tijd als toen hij om te leren van de kraai.

The eagle never lost so much time as when he submitted to learn from the crow.
