Default Re: I'm getting some incomplete nickle coverage

Charles,

Thank you for your good ideas. They were very helpful. The bracket that I mentioned in my last post is now complete and came out really good. It is already on my bike and I am really pleased with the results.

I am concerned about power, but I would like to avoid an expensive power supply. I am using a 6v battery along with a reostat board as mentioned in the Plating Manual, using a series of .250 and .125 4v bulbs. I've attached a photo of my setup. I like it as my pieces are all small and the inaccuracies in size estimating are pretty big.

Do I want to use the same power level for chrome (.05 amps/sq.in) for nickle, or do I use a different level?
