Hi All,
 
I just finished silvering my 12.5" and did not get did not get a hot
result. Basically I am getting a dull coating. I guess it's what they
call bloom! But the problem is I am getting it with a very thin coating!
Do any of the experts out there have any suggestions? 
 
Silver nitrate quantity I am using is 15 grams.
Reducing agent is dextrose.
Temperature is around 24C
Method is the martin as described in texteraux
 
Regards,
 
Alfredo
