This brush plating solution performs the same function as Gold Strike and Gold Strike Extra but has a much higher gold content. It plates adhesive gold layers two and a half times faster than Gold Strike on to difficult-to plate metals such as chrome, surgical steel and dental alloys. Standard swabs can be used with this solution, however for longer life we recommend using the S-Type Swab which can be purchased HERE.
Voltage: 3 – 4 volts Gold
Gold concentration: 10 grams per litre

Notes:
- When plating in recesses, we recommend using the using the Plating Pen (8 – 10 volts, Fibre Nib).
- Plating rate decreases considerably below 20 °C
- We strongly advise against the use of stainless steel anodes for most of our plating processes
- Plating rates are calculated over a sample area which is permanently covered by swab.
