Default Re: Plating Aluminum question?

You can go from zincate to nickel. Make sure you rinse off zincate before you nickel. It can hurt your nickel bath. I like to double zincate (zincate, rinse, sulfuric acid dip for 10 sec.,rinse, zincate, rinse) then flash copper. Then to acid copper if needed. Todd
