"I have another order for you...I've tested the Electroless nickel kit and I am very pleased with it. I've re-nickeled a small Smith &Wesson top-break revolver, and the little piece is, once again, like factory new...can't tell the difference between a factory plated or a re-plated one."

Over the past sixteen years Caswell have developed a really good system of plating for the smaller workshop!  They have become a leader in this field because the kits are of a practical size to plate small parts on vehicles.  They come complete, and have a superb operating manual that takes you from start to finish.  They have avoided 'chemistry jargon' like the plague, and the kits come with the ingredients pre-weighed, all you have to do is add distilled water!  Where required they all work using 6 or 12-volt batteries or chargers & assemble easily using a few items usually found in any workshop or the hardware store.

Kits are sold to the hobbyist, car & motorcycle restorer, antique gramophone & telephone restorer, prototype workshops, schools, gun repair shops and model toy collectors/restorers as well as small commercial enterprises.  These kits range from a Brush Plating kit that is ideal for small tools or jewellery, a Triple Chrome kit for plating car & bike parts, to a Workshop kit for the serious restorer, or for starting a small plating business.  We can even customise a kit for you; just let us know what you are trying to do! You will be able to plate as well as, if not better than, a commercial plater because we basically use the same procedures and chemicals (except cyanide). 

Our customers are usually willing to take a little more time on the preparation, like careful buffing to avoid removing detail, and inspection of the part to ensure all corrosion is removed, so they end up with a better job.  There is also a distinct advantage in plating one or two items in a small tank.  You get better, more even coverage and the parts don't get lost or dissolved!  Imagine that precious piece in a 500-gal tank swirling around with thousands of others -- will you ever see it again?   The actual cost of doing your own plating is minuscule compared to commercial plater's costs and most customers tell us they get their investment back after plating only 5 or 6 items!  Most of our chemicals are not regulated or classed as "hazardous" and most of them last for years, so you DO NOT have a disposal problem.  If you decide to stop plating, most council waste stations will take these minimal amounts free of charge.

Over the years, we've added lots of new products to our line-up.  Most recently we have included the Krylon range of metal finishes, also suitable for plastic and glassfibre.  

Evapo-Rust™  - fertan and FeDOX for the removal or conversion of rust.  We also offer free technical advice.  You can phone during the day to get answers to a problem or an email service is available for us to send you data sheets, technical tips, flyers, order forms, etc.   If you don't have an email address we can post or fax it to you.  Make sure you continue to watch our UK web site and the USA website at http://www.caswellplating.com/  

We now have over  9 years operating our kits in the UK and mainland Europe and 6 years of experience in selling them.  They have been well received and their simplicity makes them superior to the current competition.  If you need any further information please give Caswell Europe a call +44 (0) 1420 474961 or email them info@caswelleurope.co.uk they will be happy to help you decide which kit is right for you.  They can also be your first line of support as they have used the kits and have based their support on experience.
