After stirring the gold and mercury in a certain ratio (such as 1:7), pour it into water to form a "gold mud." He dipped the gold stick in the gold mud and brushed it over the silver ware repeatedly. Finally, he baked the surface of the silver ware with hot charcoal to evaporate the mercury. The gold remained on the surface of the silver ware and became gilded silver ware. 3. The principle of gold-mercury hot gilding was similar to this: Mercury and gold were mixed (the ratio of gold to mercury was about 6:1). Using the characteristic of gold dissolving in mercury in a hot environment, a gold-mercury solution was obtained. After squeezing out the excess mercury from the antelope skin, an object with a thickness similar to butter was obtained.
