Bright Nickel Plating Solution (32 oz)

I was going to make my own solution, but opted to buy this instead. I never done electroplating before. Knew next to nothing about it. I went to this product's website and looked through their catalog and their tutorial videos. I ended up buying their electro-cleaner and surface prep, as they recommended using it to prep your parts before nickel plating. Few seconds in those cleaners and about 1 minute in the nickel plating solution and poof, my parts came out like a mirror. The little rough marks are from manual lathe work. These are copper parts that I mirror polished prior to plating. I stuck a piece of tape to the side and pulled it to make sure the bond was strong, and no issues at all! Super easy to do, pretty quick, and now I hopefully wont become too addicted to plating anything I touch haha!

Great to plate Copper and Brass before Gold or Rhodium plate.

Unlike other solutions I've tried, this one came with some strange, white-ish, almost sparkly crystals in the bottom of the container. Shaking it disperses them but minutes later, they all fall back to the bottom. I think I can use a syringe to transfer the good, green solution to another container without grabbing any of this mystery pollutant. If anyone knows what this stuff is or if it's supposed to be there, I'd like to hear. As I use a heated, stirring plate to my electroplating, leaving this stuff in the solution would certainly cause bonding consistency issues.

Honestly, it’s easier and cheaper to make your own if you don’t need laboratory quality.

Only had enough ions for plating a single penny. On arrival there was a lot of nickel precipitated out on the bottom. Tried shaking and warming but did not redissolve

Really easy to use as long as you have the proper equipment.

Great

Perfect
