I have a small item <2sq in. It appears to be highly polished SS but has a slight attraction to a magnet.
The Caswell SSAG seems to work then the gold just peels off. I have had limited success by pickling in muriatic then doing an elctroless Ni, then Gold tank plating.
Still the gold seems to eventually peel off. I have plated a similar piece which is aluminum successfully using the zincate/Ni flash method.
Piece IS passing waterbreak. both E Ni, and Cu stick ok.
Thanks,
George
