The conductivity tester allows you to check that surfaces are conductive prior to plating.

Simply touch the test probes on the work to be plated and if the needle does not move, the surface is non-conductive.

The Conductor strip is the next significant Spa Plating innovation in this field. Although technically quite simple, it greatly increases the contact area and surface conductivity. The subsequent increase in current therefore allows plating to take place much more effectively

Crocodile clips are a useful addition to any brush plater's tool kit.

If you need to get a firm grip on the part you are plating, it has the added benefit to give you a third hand when needed.

It is essential to keep your plating leads in good condition. Electrical failure accounts for well over half of the problems encountered when brush plating.

This 30 volt, 1 amp rectifier rectifier is ideal for top quality pen plating.

Fifty percent of all plating problems can be attributed to the lack of electrical current flow (amps) due to bad contacts.

This can be continually checked with the built-in LED amp meter; so if you have a bad contact you will know it immediately as there will be no amps registering.

A useful addition to our product range is MetaPrep surface conditioner.

This has a unique formulation that removes even the most stubborn of silicone and hardened waxes and includes a cleaning agent to help prepare the surface for plating.

MPU or MetaPrep Ultra is an abrasive rubbing compound.

It incorporates nano-sized particles and it leaves a completely scratch-free surface.

It has a variety of different uses:
It serves as a replacement for cleaning and activating.
