The Short Platinum Electrode fits both our rectifier-driven and battery powered plating pens. When used with our Short Swab it allows you to quickly pen plate larger surface areas on items such as rings, pendants and small pieces of silver ware.
Please note that Spa Plating electrodes are designed to work with our range of electroplating solutions only and are not compatible with electrolytes containing chloride or fluoride particularly at low pH and/or at high temperature.
The short electrodes come in platinum, carbon, silver, nickel and copper versions. They can easily be fitted into our battery powered plating pen or our rectifier powered pen, using the allen key.
Here’s a video showing how this electrode can be used with our MultiPlater to brush plate gold.
This video shows how the short platinum electrode fits into our battery powered plating pen;

Please note that Spa Plating electrodes are designed to work with our range of electroplating solutions only and are not compatible with electrolytes containing chloride or fluoride particularly at low pH and/or at high temperature.
Caring for your platinised electrode: Please do not abrade this electrode as this will
damage the platinum layer and considerably shorten its life.
