plating drum hardware
Can anyone give me some suggestions?
I'm trying to plate some die cast drum hardware with Black Chrome.
I bought the plug-n-plate nickel/flash copper combo kit, along with a bottle of the Black Krome solution.
I've applied the flash copper with success, but I cannot get the nickel to plate. The last time I tried, the plating came out kind of streaky and not smooth.
I tried to clip the anode to the side of a glass and dipping the part in the solution. I also heated the solution-this gave me the best results so far.
But still I get the streaky look. Do I need to agitate the part in the solution?
Thanks
Joe Migliaccio
