| ZINC + Caswell Blue Chromate | ||
|
Hi
John, Attached is a picture of the finish I get using the Caswell CopyCad kit and the Caswell Blue Chromate. These bulkhead blanking plates, from the Jaguar E-Type were in very bad condition so they were cleaned up in a sandblast cabinet, no further effort was used to smooth the surface. The staining from one of the rivets was probably unavoidable short of removing them, not really possible as they are spot welded in.

| I will take some better pictures as work progresses and mail them to you. I have a website for the E-Type restoration and would like to add a page on my home plating efforts at some stage, if you have no objection. | Caswell comment:
"The parts should be thoroughly de-greased in SD 416, rinsed and then immersed in an Evapo-Rust™ pickle for 10 to 20mins and rinsed in water prior to plating. This will remove any oil/ grease and rust deposit that could cause the staining." |

BLUE CHROMATE Our blue chromate concentrate produces a true blue conversion coating on zinc plated items. It is a single dip blue trivalent chromate that offers high salt spray resistance for up to 130 hours to white rust corrosion, and 160-200 hours to red rust corrosion. No additional topcoat is required to obtain this high degree of corrosion resistance. It produces a beautiful blue trivalent chromate to meet automotive and all other industrial standards. Dip zinc plated parts at room temperature for 15-40 seconds. For best results, dry with hot air (150 deg F). The depth of blue, which will vary from a clear finish to a blue haze will depend on immersion time |
