Regular Bright Nickel

Our formulas are from 'The Old School' as are many of our plating techniques, thus enabling you to reproduce a plate almost identical to the original specifications of long ago. 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 standardised everything wherever we can.

The Complete Plating Manual with Full Nickel Plating instructions

The regular Nickel Kit will plate a heavier finish onto most metals except pot metal, and it should be used wherever possible, especially under a chrome plate. This system is too acidic for pot metal, which should be plated first in the special Pot Metal solution. 

Nickel plate may 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 lead free solders 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'.

The system uses a 6 or 12 volt battery or charger, and controls the current using light bulbs. If you intend to be plating frequently, we suggest you invest in a rectifier unit.

All instructions and operating procedures are detailed in the Complete Plating Manual. Each anode will plate about 25 sq. ft of surface area before it needs to be replaced. The 2 gal kits have 2 anodes in them. The solution is virtually permanent. No waste chemicals or dangerous fumes are produced.
