Hello, is there a chart for color results via reverse electroplating?
I decided to follow a tutorial I found on this site using salt and vinegar just to try this method out. I had the pos and neg connected correctly, however the vinegar turned orangey yellow. Some black is at the bottom. I let it sit over night.
Here is the mystery: it can not be that much gold dissolved because the test piece was very small, a gold plated piece of metal 1/4 the size of a penny.
I wish there was a color chart on reverse electroplating results. The steel turned dark red so I'm guessing it cemented something and the gold is definitely off the test piece. Any thoughts? Links to a color chart? If this is a repost, I'm sorry but I've tried to read answers of other topics but they all somehow turn into a completely different topic when reading further. Lol. Good day.
