With our Rose Gold Tank Plating Kit – 1 Litre you’ll be able to
Customisable
This kit is built around our MultiPlater. We have designed and built this power source to be super flexible and easy to adapt to all of our plating processes, including further tank plating, pen and brush plating. Please see the videos that are posted on this page under the ‘Videos’ tab and also visit our YouTube channel.

There are a number of ways to connect up the process beakers. In this example, we're connecting up to use the minimum number of wires.
Whatever way you decide on, it's best policy to connect up with the MultiPlater switched off.
Fitting the Stainless Steel Mesh Electrode to the beaker
The plastic cleaner beaker is usually supplied with the mesh fitted, but in case that it’s not, curl the mesh into the plastic beaker and slide the mesh connector inbetween the beaker and the mesh and make sure that it’s held in place by the mesh to ensure electrical connection.
Fitting the platinum rod electrodes into the Beaker Ring and adding anode bags
Slide the non-platinum end of the electrode into the receiving hole on the beaker ring and tighten the grub screw with the allen key provided. The non platinum part of the electrode can be easily identified as it’s smooth; the platinum area is rough.
Fit the anode bags over the electrodes and place in the structure in the plating beaker.
Here’s a video to help you:
Making the Plating Stand negative (black wire)
Plug one of the 4mm connectors of the Standard Lead into the black socket of the MultiPlater and clip the other end plug into the 4mm hole located at the base of the Plating Stand.
The negative is where the plating takes place.
Connecting up the mesh on the cleaner beaker
Plug the 4mm connector end of a Red Combination Lead into a red socket on the MultiPlater and the other end, clip to the mesh connection on the cleaner tank.
Connecting up (ganging up) the platinum plating beaker to the mesh on the cleaner beaker
Clip the crocodile clip on one end of the Red Jump Lead to the mesh of the cleaner tank then clip the other end of the Red Jump Lead to the Beaker Ring on the rose gold plating beaker.
Filling the cleaner beaker.
Fill the cleaner tank up with Cleaner until just below the level of the mesh.
Cleaner is used at room temperature and a between 2 and 4 volts.
If you prefer to control the process using amps, the plating factor for cleaner is between 0.02 – 0.03 A/cm2
Agitation is not necessary.
Filling up the rose gold plating beaker and operating conditions
Fill up with Rose Gold Tank Plating Solution ensuring the solution 1.5cm – 2cm below the rim of the plating beaker and that the top of the anode bags are above the level of the solution.
Palladium plating should be carried out at a cathode current density of 0.0075 amp per square centimetre, 50 – 65 degrees centigrade (60 degrees optimum) and no agitation.
To help calculate the MultiPlater amp setting and time that you will need to plate for, you can use our online calculator by clicking here.
While continual filtration isn’t usually necessary, occasional batch filtration or filtration through a filter pump could be advantageous.
