Does anyone here make or know how to make platinum metal into printing a platinum kit component solution?

I searched using the phrase, "platinum formula" and saw nothing useful in the five pages it brought up.

I am looking to learn what is involved in turning 1 gram of platinum metal into solution.

I am also wanting to do the same with 1 gram of palladium metal.

Cheers!

You probably need to search for "Potassium Chloroplatinite synthesis".

I don't think it's easy road ahead... platinum doesn't want to react with anything, so strong acids and toxic precursors are going to be involved. Could be a lot of fun, though!

There is a reason the Photographers' Formulary and Bostick & Sullivan exist and sell those products.

Take the metal to a precious metals exchange and sell it. Use the money to buy the chemicals.
