As far as I know no one does silver lining the way tin lining is applied. Soy used to use a kind of forge welding process (which requires excessively thick silver sheets) but now they just like Duparquet use electroplating, which can not even get close to the thickness of hand wiped tin linings.
I wonder if I could line my old copper pots with old silver dollars. lol Not with my today's backyard tech. Thank you for the thought provoking video for this morning. I remember my "marriage of metals" work. Without solder I fused copper, brass and silver to make a dog tag.
It might depend on the purity of your silver dollars. Also the heat of your furnace. It would have to be perfectly calibrated to melt the silver without also melting the copper. The one guy who does silver linings in the USA electroplates it on.
@@housecopper @ punapeter Silver dollars are 10% copper as they were all produced by the US mint. Even the old ones pre 1936. You'll need to use bullion for 100%. .999 or .9999 pure silver.
The new Duparquet offers silver linings and I was considering a rondeau due to their rarity in the vintage market, as well as the thickness that Duparquet produces (4mm!). I always like VFC's dedication to sharing knowledge but this was a good video too. Idk if I'd ever go for silver unless I came into a lot of money because I love being able to touch up my tinned pans as needed and would hate trying to hunt down someone to re-silver.
There is basically no one but Jim who will re-silver pans in America. So, there's that to consider. I like my tin for the same reason you do. Easier to fix!
@@housecopper I don't think so, I know that commercial cast iron planchas are hard nickel plated and there used to be historic makers of nickel plated copper.

You are correct. Thank you! :)

Duparquet silver lining is too thin. Because it’s electroplated. Just not really possible to get a reasonably thick layer with that process.

Thank you - and you are correct.
Great info as always Sar, thanks!!❤
Thank you, cuz!
You can also coat with nickel first and the hard chrome that. Very common process.
I haven't heard of that one - do you think anyone in America does that for cookware?

Great video!
Thank you so much!
