Gold Plating and Nickel plating
I bought a Gold Brush Plating kit and also some Nickel plating solution, extra cotton, and extra stainless steel wands. I have some stainless steel that I decided to practice on and tried to plate it with the nickel then go on to gold as an experimental. I have no problem plating many items with the gold kit. I understand that plating with nickel then gold is the preferred method. I cleaned the item with a dremel tool and washed it in alcohol. I get no plating or it turns black when I try to plate it with the gold. My question is are the power supplies in the Nickel and Gold Brush plating kit the same. I also tried to plate a penny with the nickel and then gold with absolutely no success. Any help is appreciated.
