RE: kitchen recipe for palladium

Chris, When you buy your palladium, you buy it as palladium chloride
crystals. Then when you mix up your palladium to coat with, you add the
appropriate salt; Sodium Chloride, Ammonium Chloride, Lithium Chloride, ...

The ratio or proportion is 1 part PdCl2 with 2 parts XCl where X is Na, Nh4,
or Li. This gives you X2PdCl4; your coating solution of palladium.
