Are you sure you want a silver plating? Tin is the common plating,
and it does have a silver color. Silver will oxidize quicker, and will
dissolve into the solder, and can cause electromigration problems, and
weak joints.

You can buy a chemical compound from www.partsexpress.com that you just
mix up and put your board into for tin plating. You don`t want silver
plating as the other fellow told you as it would tarnish. Rob
