DYO Zinc plating

[fred99999au]

I have one but haven’t used it as yet. It does come with a very complete instruction manual and is expandable.

Only issue is that the chemistry is a bit concealed as to it's exact makeup from memory, leading into re-purchasing from Caswell.

I imagine it would be the same with the Jane kits.

Thanks , I am not too concerned about " concealment's", as long as I have a steady supply and kits that will work . What impressed me most , they have hard anodizing kit as well . So I am looking at Zinc , hard chrome and the two type of anodizing kits.Quality and  Backup will be the criteria . When we do it , then we will do it right .

This has me wondering about a hard finish on the bing carb slide on my little dkw. The slides apparently are known to wear and do seem a bit "ordinary"

Slide is probably Zinc so it won't anodise. The kit will be for decorative anodising rather than hard anodising which is what should be used

At school we used to zinc plate most of our metal work projects. (Anything that would fit in the tub)
We used to zinc plate 1 and 2c pieces and try and pass them off as 5s and 10s at the tuck shop. (8c profit - those were the days!)
