Unfortunately, almost nothing is pure enough for this to work. We need at least 98 percent pure nickel for electroplating. Everything else around us has a thin nickel coating, and that's not quite enough. Pure nickel is relatively cheap in small pieces. But as far as I know, you can find nickel in old door knobs, old coins, and battery packs (strips that connect them together), but I wouldn't recommend it because it's hard to identify nickel.
In the row, you said the objects get proper pre-coating first... Does it work if objects have pre coated with primer coated spray can...? Or just a raw mat objects...?? Cause I have plan to coat bicycle chrome dropbar who have a little rusted... 😁 Thankyou...
Basically, the material that you tend to plate should be metal. won't work on paints and primers. There are methods by which you can plate non-conductive parts by applying conductive paint to the surface prior to electroplating. but it's so complicated and not durable at all. I think you should sand it to bare metal first, then start electroplating.
Nickel particles are going to be quite small for a normal strainer, and they will slide through. Unless you use a pretty small mesh, yes, there is no limit. Also, you can cut down a face mask (we all have them around) and use one of the layers as a filter. Works magic
Basically, it can be performed directly over copper, iron, stainless steel, brass and a bunch of other alloys. Also, it can be done even on plastics if the object gets proper pre-coatings first.
To get that nickle shine . The copper piece needs to be shinny ? . The voltage should be 3-6 right ? And just dip it for a couple seconds ?
Nice video, its the nickel and copper water solution toxic? Or its recomended to use gloves working with it?
Hi glad you liked it. Using gloves and eye protection is always recommended while using any kind of chemicals. But hey🤣
Nice job bro
Keep it up 🔥🔥
What everyday items can i use that has nickle in it please ? I want to try this out. Thanx

With the nickel solution. If I adding a diamond grit powder and stir it up, would it adhere to the coin as well
I'm not sure about it.

@@Simple.Crafts , ooo... ok...
Thanks for the advised.....
Anytime
nice two tone coine
Thx
Would this hold up on automotive hardware?
100% very durable for nuts and bolts ,rust proofing etc.
can we do gold plating using the same method???
Yes. But to make the solution it will be Way more expensive though.
2:15 Can I also use a Strainer on this part?

@@Simple.Crafts Oh yeah that could work too, Thanks for the Info, much appreciated 👌
Always👍
Does this work on any material that you're are trying to coat?
Basically, it can be performed directly over copper, iron, stainless steel, brass and a bunch of other alloys. Also, it can be done even on plastics if the object gets proper pre-coatings first.
@@Simple.Crafts could youmake a video of how to coat plastics for this. 🙏🙏
Electroplating on non conductive parts is in schedule.
Your video would be awesome if you could talk and explain what you are doing
Thank you. I will try my best
is the coin albanian?
No. But it sort of rhymes with Albania. So close tho👌
Romanian Leu?
No but here is a hint. Its location is 1756 km away from Romania according to google:)
@@Simple.Crafts - Armenia!
Bingo👌
