This is the situation that has been reported in previous threads about plating.

When I was involved in plating at work, we used an 'electroless' nickel plating solution that was "infallible". I saw a baby's first shoe that was plated with that stuff. Unfortunately, the British company that made it was taken over by a foreign company many years ago and they either discontinued it or renamed it. I contacted them last year, but as soon as they realised I didn't need tonne quantities, they cut me dead.
