You can use this plating solution for both brush and tank plating. Gold Strike Xtra Brush and Tank plates on to difficult-to plate metals such as chrome, surgical steel and dental alloys and achieves good adhesion with the brush plating method.
Its adhesion properties makes it ideal as an undercoat layer for subsequent plated layers and it can be used as a stand alone decorative layer.
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.
The Gold Strike Xtra Brush and Tank is nickel-free so it’s safe for plating items that will come into contact with skin.
