Re: 1941 WD G3L Bolts Question

Chris Moore
Hello Alun

re. zinc plating. I would like to do some zinc plating on a number of small components, nuts, bolts, Etc. but have never got round to it. How difficult is it to zinc plate sucessfully?

I am always suspicious of kit sellers claims of how good & easy to use. I would rather hear it from some one who has experence of such kits, can you let me know what they are like to use, any problems or pitfalls to look out for? or even tips to sucess

Thanks

Today I created the nickel solution and successfully nickel plated a part. Quite easy actually.

I am assuming the zinc process will be the same. I am just waiting on my zinc anodes to arrive.

Tin plating is quite a good substitute for cadmium with a very similar finish/colour, is pretty common and it's not expensive...My local plating shops normal process is to copper plate first before the tin goes on so it's fairly durable...Ian
