Nickel Electroplating Kit - 1.5 Gallon Size Nickel Electroplating Kit - 1.5 Gallon Size Nickel Electroplating Kit - 1.5 Gallon Size Nickel Plating Kit From Caswell Inc. Our nickel plating kits are designed to provide a commercial quality finish on a miniature scale, in approx. 20 minutes. The finish can be applied as a final treatment, requiring VERY LITTLE buffing to obtain a high shine, or as a base for chrome plating. Nickel plate has a very slight yellow color to it, but in many applications, if polished, it can double as a chrome plate. Commercial grade brighteners are included in the kit. They produce brilliant, white deposits of high clarity, reflectivity and depth. The deposit is active and can be chromium plated if specified. Superior leveling properties enable fine scratches and imperfections to be filled, enhancing the overall finish. * 2 x 2 Gal Plating Tank & Lids * 2 x 6" x 8" Nickel Anodes and Bandages (plates approx 32 sq ft each) * 1 x 2lb SP Degreaser (Makes 4 Gal) * 1 Pack Nickel Crystals with brighteners (Makes 1.5 Gal) The kit will operate using a 6V-12V battery or battery charger. Current needs to be controlled to 0.07amps per square inch of surface area being plated. For convenience, you may purchase a small 3 amp rectifier from our E-Bay store for $95.00. This will plate items up to 45 square inches in area. You will also need some distilled water, some lengths of electrical wire, some bare copper wire, and a piece of copper pipe that acts as your tank bar. All our chemicals are pre-weighed, so all you have to do is to add distilled water. We have tried to keep the processes as simple as possible and have standardized everything wherever we can. The kit will plate onto steel, iron, copper, bronze, brass, zincated aluminum, activated nickel, activated Stainless, Flash Copperâ„¢, or Bright Acid Copper. This system is too acidic for pot metal, which should be plated first in Flash Copperâ„¢. Nickel plate may also be applied over a copper plate, and copper plate will adhere to the nickel. We suggest you apply copper plate to any areas with large scratches or pits, repair them using our solder-it pastes and then nickel plate them. By buffing the copper plate before nickel plating, you can achieve a very high quality finish, similar to 'Show Chrome". If this nickel finish is then chrome plated, the part will be 'Show Chrome'. All instructions and operating procedures are detailed in the Complete Plating Manual. Each anode will plate about 32 sq. ft of surface area at 0.0005" before it needs to be replaced. The solution is virtually permanent. No waste chemicals or dangerous fumes are produced. Nickel Plated Brass Alignment Tool NY State residents must pay sales tax.
