This patent discloses embodiments that overcome the deficiencies of pinholes and porosities that plague immersion deposited metal coatings deposited as a final finish to throughole copper Printed Wiring Boards(PWB'S). The patent focuses particularly on silver immersion plated PWB's, where pinholes in the silver film lead to creep corrosion, resulting in failure of costly PWB assemblies in the field. Said pinholes and microvoids are repaired by capping them with electrolessly plated metal, preferably silver.
