Default Re: Zinc passivation

There are several DIY plating kits available - there's one from a firm in Bath. A web search will help you.

We use nickel plating at work - it's a 5 litre tub with the necessary chemical solution, some zinc supended in it and a small power supply. It works very well but we only do small items like clarinet keywork. We have sone silver as well, that's a little more difficult but a good finish is possible.
