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.
