Explanation:
hi - the german word "Ansätzen" does not exist. Either it is "Ansetzen" like you do with any paste before constructing anythin (cake, connect stones ... simply mix up and wait ..) or it is "Anätzen" where "Ätzen" is "etching" - a chemical process but I don't know if is has sth to do with galvanoetc ...
good luck : )
