Zinc or not?
I'm a newbie and a bit confused. I have a project ready to plate that includes some 1" x 36" x 1/8" 'plated steel'. I also have hinges and a hasp. I wanted to nickel plate them all. I read here that saturating distilled water with Sani-Flush is about a 20% mixture of muriatic acid. Whether it is or not I mixed it up and applied it to the 'plated steel'. No reaction occurred. Is it safe to place this into the solution for nickel plating or should I test it in yet another way? Your help is GREATLY appreciated!
