Can most of those items be used for making more pen plating solutions?
I assume you mean wands, not solutions? You shouldn't use scrap metal unless you can be assured of it's purity. Most of the materials you mention are alloys of many different metals and won't give you good results.

What is the liquid?
They're proprietary formulas.

Quote:
I've seen people make coladial silver with distilled water, though they weren't plating anything. Just breaking down silver rods and suspending the silver in the water.
Definitely won't work for plating.

Quote:
What would you suggest for a flashy plating for brake lines that won't rust or need much care.
Nickel or Chrome

We look forward to the pictures.
