Universal Plater Kit

Option:

$999.00

Universal Plater Kit gives you the equipment you need to quickly setup and plate projects without the bother of constantly changing tips, handles, or solution beakers.

Gold plating is a fun, satisfying process that can be incorporated into many different types of businesses or personal projects.

The Universal Plater Kit comes with complete instructions and everything needed for gold plating onto most conductive metal surfaces such as nickel, stainless steel, bronze, copper, brass, and silver. The solutions in this kit are not designed to plate onto aluminum or titanium. Also, we do not recommend brush plating onto non-stainless steels such as mild steel or carbon steel, unless they are small steel items that do not require blending of sections. These surfaces oxidize very quickly and you will run into problems. Bath plating is the preferred method for plating non-stainless steels.

With the Universal Plater, gold plating is easy to learn; the kit includes a step-by-step tutorial that guarantees your first plating experience will be fun and successful. If you ever have questions about other types of work we provide unlimited free technical support.

*This kit is not capable of stripping chrome. Please refer to our Universal Plater - Chrome Edition if you need to strip chrome prior to plating. Chrome Stripping Solution will not work with this version.

Using the Universal to Gold Plate a Katana

I love this kit! I am brand new to electroplating and have found every single aspect of this purchase to be extremely informative, user-friendly, and organized. I had already purchased a cheaper kit from another company and after two days of using it realized that I needed this Universal Plater kit. Well worth the price if you are serious about plating! The website is a fabulous resource, too. I expect that I will purchase the bath plating kit in the future but for now this brush-plating kit is keeping me very busy!

Worked perfectly and easily

Good Quality Setup

Haven't used it yet, but the quality of the equipment is very good, not junky or garage made kits like others. Just waiting on more solutions I had to order after the fact. Product is good, customer service is leaving something to be desired. I think they know what their doing, but brush you off with canned emails and links. Time will tell. But as for equipment and setup, 5 stars all day.

Worked perfect

Got this kit to plate all the accent parts on a 1911 worked out beautifully 1st try ... (even skipped the practice piece and went straight to the project) as long as you get the prep work done right and follow the instrustions i dont see how you could mess up

Impressed

Did a couple of practice pieces. Turned out nice. Instruction video very helpful. Really like the kit.
