Re: Plug n plate kit for bathroom faucets ?
Best way to remove old plate:
1. Use chrome/nickel plate stripping solution. It's basically battery/muriatic acid. Formulas are in our plating manual.
2. You can also sandblast, grind, buff etc.
Fill pitted areas:
1. Lead free solder or similar products work well.
Every pit?
1. It would be best to drill them all. You wouldn't want to plate the whole part, then have one pit you didn't drill cause problems.
Remove other metals?
1. Generally the plating will plate any other conductive metal in the bath at the time.
Show chrome?
1. Are you judges going to want a real chrome finish. If so, pot metal primer, followed by triple chrome is your only choice.
2. If it doesn't matter, pot metal primer followed by Copy Chrome would work.
3. In extreme cases, you may need to zinc plate before pot metal primer plating.
We can custom make 1/4" holes on our wheels if you need that. Just give us a call.
