Hello all, Is is possible to use copper scraps to plate out silver from spent fixer?
There seems to be a mild attack on the copper if it is placed into spent fixer. I am almost tempted to try copper plate etching for intaglio printing plates using the fixer as a mordent. I am have held off due to the potential of other by-products... my knowledge of chemistry is really rusty. Is there anyone on the list with chemistry hints, or a resource book that can steer me in the right direction. I thank you in advance. mr. nelson marshfield, wi 54449
