The chemicals we supply are the safest brush plating chemicals on the market, however as with all chemical processes, safety is of the utmost importance and safety gloves must be worn at all times during the plating process.

These gloves are non-latex and powder free.

Activator is a good, general-purpose chemical for removing the strong oxide layer that forms on nickel and stainless steel.

Some conventional activators are very corrosive.

Black Chrome Plating Solution - a popular finish on mobile phones and other personal devices - is another innovative brush plating solution developed by our chemist at Spa Plating.

These leads are essential for use with brush plating equipment.
They are stackable allowing one output to be shared by different processes and are also rated at a hefty 19 amps - suitable for all brush plating processes.

Just like the other ‘mixer solutions’ we sell, Bronze Mixer can be added to the new copper solution to create a beautiful shade of freshly cast bronze.

This brand new solution, has been introduced as a replacement for nickel plating solution.

Full of information to take you from novice to professional brush plater.

The Budget Plating Kit is ideal for the beginner wanting to gold plate onto stainless steel, nickel and its alloys.

It is particularly suited to the plating of metal mobile phone covers. This kit takes up the minimum of space and is extremely useful for operators with very limited bench space.

Carbon electrodes are essential chrome, copper, white bronze plating and activating.
They also need to be occasionally replaced, as they are used up in the process of plating.

Our Chrome Plating Solution comes as a two-pack system labelled Part A and Part B and is designed to be mixed using our mixing kit, which is available on the Online Shop.

For plating on stainless steel, we recommend you first plate a thin layer of gold with Gold Flash after activation, then plate chrome with a carbon electrode.

This chrome stripping solution that is non-corrosive and, due to its low hazard rating, can be safely used in a tank.

When used with the Power Rectifier, even the thickest of chrome deposits are removed with ease and efficiency.

Considerable research has gone into developing a cleaner that, like the chrome stripper, does not attack paint.

Cleaner is the product and performs wonderfully.

This exciting addition to the product range allows you to fill pits and small holes in the surface of the work you want to plate and then simply plate over the patch!

Highly conductive silver ink for spraying or painting. Specially formulated for decorative brush plating of plastics and other non-conducting materials.

**This product is NOT available outside the UK**

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

This Copper solution plates to a beautifully lustrous finish.

It can be mixed with Bronze Mixer to produce different shades of bronze from red bronze through to brilliant white bronze.

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.

The unique versatile pen-plating machine is a great compact piece of equipment allowing you to keep your solutions tidy in the purpose built holder. A great product for all those specialised jobs from circuit board repairs to fine detailed jewellery and costume jewellery work.

Included in this kit is 25ml of Gold Pen Plating Solution and 25ml Silver Pen Plating Solution - plenty to get you underway with.

This is a top of the range plating kit, aimed at customers who not only want to do gold and silver plating, but also are looking for the flexibility of being able to plate a wider range of metals and alloys including copper, bronze and white bronze (nickel substitute).

The advantage of buying this kit from us is our support on plating if required

Set of 3 drip trays used for brush plating.
These are the ideal size for most brush plating jobs and contain 100 percent of spills or drips saving both time and money.

These trays are fully stackable making storage very easy.

By putting together this kit, we have carefully selected only the essential items you need for starting out in pen plating. Unlike the battery plating pen, the economy rectifier means you easily have enough power to use any of the plating solutions.

This rectifier is perfect for those one-off small silver and gold plating jobs.
The voltage is controlled via a selector switch from 3 up to 12 volts and the maximum current is 1.5 amps.

This rectifier is not suitable for chrome plating.

The electrode handle is is used to hold the various electrodes required throughout the plating process.

Selecting the best electrode for the job is very important and is covered in the plating manual which can be downloaded by clicking HERE

Extension Leads alloy you to increase the operating length from the rectifier.

The main advantage of this is one of heath and safety for example; when working in damp environments such as a bathroom.

Extension Leads are ideal for mobile electroplating

This is a very useful alternative to using the crocodile clip to make electrical contact with your work during the plating process.

Simply touch it on the work and plate away!
The picture above shows the extension rod connected into the read lead.

This electrode is ideal for copper plating larger surface areas and other un-complex shaped articles.

It can plate at 2 - 3 times the rate of the normal electrode when plating a flat or un-contoured surface.

This electrode is ideal for plating larger surface areas and other un-complex shaped articles.

This electrode is ideal for plating larger surface areas and other un-complex shaped articles.

It can plate at 2 - 3 times the rate of the normal electrode when plating a flat or un-contoured surface. It should be used for chrome stripping and cleaning only.

The Flat Swab, used with our range of flat electrodes, is ideal for the fast plating of medium sized objects such as mobile phone covers.

A number of plating processes require a thin undercoat of gold prior to subsequent plating.

An example of this is when silver plating onto stainless steel, nickel and its alloys.

Now with platinum coated tip

It's as portable as it was, as the batteries in the pen mean you don't need a rectifier to power it, but it has been re-designed with replaceable batteries; when they run out you won't have to buy a whole new pen.

KlearLak is ideal for sealing up pourous surfaces when electroplating on plastic and other non conductors.

This electrode is ideal for plating large areas such as clock faces name plates and dials on barometers.
It can reduce the plating time by as much as seventy percent.
The Large Swab is available on the online shop to fit on this electrode.

This electrode is ideal for plating large areas such as clock faces name plates and dials on barometers.
It can reduce the plating time by as much as seventy percent.

This swab is ideal for plating large areas such as clock faces, name plates, dials on barometers and silver salvers or trays.
It can reduce the plating time by as much as seventy percent.

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.

MPU Course or MetaPrep Ultra Course has been specially developed for use when brush plating plastic and other non-conducting items.

MPU Fine (MetaPrep Ultra Fine) is as the name implies; a fine version of our MPU.

It is ideal when working on thin flash coatings of gold as it removes the minimum of metal.
