Universal Plater Kit

Universal Plater Kit  gives you the equipment you need to quickly setup and plate projects without the bother of constantly changing tips, handles, or solution beakers. Gold plating is a fun, satisfying process that can be incorporated into many different types of businesses or personal projects. The Universal Plater Kit comes with complete instructions and everything needed for gold plating onto most conductive metal surfaces such as nickel, stainless steel, bronze, copper, brass, and silver. The solutions in this kit are not designed to plate onto aluminum or titanium. Also, we do not recommend brush plating onto non-stainless steels such as mild steel or carbon steel, unless they are small steel items that do not require blending of sections. These surfaces oxidize very quickly and you will run into problems. Bath plating is the preferred method for plating non-stainless steels. With the Universal Plater, gold plating is easy to learn; the kit includes a step-by-step tutorial that guarantees your first plating experience will be fun and successful. If you ever have questions about other types of work we provide unlimited free technical support.   *This kit is not capable of stripping chrome. Please refer to our Universal Plater - Chrome Edition if you need to strip chrome prior to plating. Chrome Stripping Solution will not work with this version.
