Pour préparer la pâte d'argenture, il faut d'abord mélanger le chlorure d'argent, le chlorure de sodium et le tartrate acide de potassium (aussi connu sous le nom de crème de tartre), puis ajouter une petite quantité d'eau pour former un mélange semi-liquide. Ensuite, à l'aide d'un linge humide, on frotte la pâte d'argenture sur le cuivre jusqu'à l'obtention d'une fine couche d'argent.
