You can use this plating solution for both brush and tank plating. Gold Strike Brush and Tank plates on to difficult-to plate metals such as chrome, surgical steel and dental alloys and it achieves good adhesion with the brush plating method.
This gold plating solution plates straight onto chrome. You don’t need to strip your layer of chrome first, so gold plating on chrome becomes much quicker and straightforward.
This solution is nickel-free, so it’s safe for plating items that will come into contact with skin.
You can use this plating solution as an adhesive undercoat when plating onto difficult-to-plate metals such as surgical steel and tungsten or as a decorative gold layer.

This photograph shows a sellotape test of a gold strike layer after brush plating a chrome plated lighter. This demonstrates just how adhesive this plating solution is when you use the brush plating method. In section A of the picture, you can see the tape sticking to the surface of our freshly plated gold strike layer and then in section B of the picture, we quickly remove the tape. The gold layer stays on the surface of the work with no traces of gold on the sellotape.
NB – you can’t achieve the same level of adhesion with the tank plating method.
Our Gold Strike plates layers of gold straight on to difficult to plate stainless steel alloys and chrome without stripping. It is particularly useful for brush plating super adherent key layers.

Here’s a shot of some stainless surgical steel nose rings we plated with our Gold Strike Brush and Tank. Because this solution doesn’t contain nickel it is safe to use if the item comes into contact with skin.
This disk is an example of Inconel 718, another difficult to plate allloy. We first plated it with the gold strike brush and tank and then finally with our silver tank plating solution.

Here’s another video showing how to use the same solution to tank plate onto surgical steel;
For optimum adhesion especially when plating onto chrome and surgical stainless steel,
prepare article with MPU prior to plating.
Plating rate increases with temperature.
Adhesion of the gold strike layer seems to be superior for brush plated coatings than
tank plated ones.
Brush plated gold strike coatings provide better adhesion than gold strike tank plated coatings.
