Stainless Steel Activator for use with NP1
I'm going to do nickel plating of mostly brass, but occasionally some stainless steel.
As far as a "Stainless Steel Activator," I need a little clarification. Is this Product (SSAC2G - Stainless Steel Activator - 1 Gal) simply THIS Product (PNPSSACT - Stainless Steel Activator - 8 oz) with the muriatic acid already added? Can Pickle #4 be used as my stainless steel activator prior to Nickel Plating onto SS? Also, if the Brass I use is clean and virginal, how likely am I to need to use "Pickle #4 for ANY other reason?" THANKS

Re: Stainless Steel Activator for use with NP1
The PNPSSACT is pre mixed for use. The pickle #4 is not an activator for your stainless. The pickle #4 is use as a deoxidizer for the copper alloys, pot metal or zinc diecast, due to the fact they are prone to oxidize if not clear coated. Even if you have a virginal piece it will start to oxidize when exposed to air and humidity.
