Stainless Steel Activator for Tank Plating

Here is an example a successful sellotape test.
It shows how well this activator helps you to plate on a range of difficult to plate stainless steel alloys by making your plated layers adhere to the surface of your item.
1. We masked out a small area of the spoon handle by sticking on a small piece of sellotape.
2. We then plated the whole of the spoon handle with our stainless steel activator.
3. We stuck a strip of sellotape over the whole of the handle and then pulled it away.
4. The gap is where the copper couldn’t stick to the underlying steel of the handle because there wasn’t any stainless steel activator underneath.

Notes
- The nickel electrodes need to be removed from the solution while not in use as
they will slowly dissolve. - To prolong the life of the solution, you can alternate between using nickel
electrodes half of the time then carbon electrodes but don’t mix the two at the
same time as this won’t have the same effect.
