Thank you V, Ode, and Bob for your 3 responses. One was a bit light but potential, one a bit heavy industrial yet informative, and one that looks just right for my application. (3 bears reference)
I wonder if the plating kit below, the silver kit, is mostly silver or made to be used to get a silver look (shiney, mirror) but with not much silver. I'll look into it. I want to silver plate some cheap jewelry that has mucho sentimental value but has irritating qualities from the metals used - nickel?? for my daughter. I was hoping someone would say a slight modification of an EIS system - using baking soda, vinegar, sodium hydroxide, wine yeast, a 2X4, and cast iron cooking ware :) you know...household or easily obtainable stuff. Bob, the constituency of the plating kits could be important to your application with regards to its conductivity. I used to have a 26 Columbia sailboat when I lived on Casco Bay in Maine. So using and keeping track of the zincs was important. But I had metal components on a fiberglass hull. Are you on salt water? How do you redo an aluminum hull? Do you use zincs or somesuch to protect your hull?

I have a sensor on bottom of my boat that is silver plated (reads current on aluminum hull). The sensor and boat is 32 years old and needs redone. I hung 4 ft of my silver wire over side and got different reading than the sensor.
