I want to nickel plate some old steel parts that are pitted. Is there a filler I can use that will allow me to nickel plate over it? I don't want to use a zinc base substance because I want to avoid copper plating first (this item never had a copper layer and I want to restore it).

I didn't know if the steel filler of Solder-IT allows you to plate over top or not. Also, could a fiberglass filler be used and then sprayed like you would when preparing cloth for plating?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
