Hi,

I have some problems plating with the 18K fast gold solution using the Plug N Plate tool. When I pat the piece with the wand, a black layer appears only after some second. What could be the cause? too much impedance for that solution? Should I wrap the wand with a thicker bandage? I cleaned the piece with acetone before the operation and washed it with soap and rinsed it with water. The piece was dry when I plated it. I didn't got this result when I plated the same kind of piece (a watch) with the 24K solution for plug N Plate. I plated on gold. This was to repair a worn gold plated watch. It wasn't eroded to stainless steel, There was still a layer of gold on top of the stainless steel.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated
