Storing the Electroplating System
Storage of the Electroplating System
When not in use, remove the anode bar from the solution, clean it with
a nylon brush under running water. Pour the plating solution back in the
storage bottle using the included funnel. Be sure the container's plastic
lid is tightened securely. Rinse the plating container in clean running
water. Store the solution at temperatures between 40° to 95° F and out
of reach of children and pets. Remove the batteries from the holder.
Rinse off the black lead with clean water thoroughly to ensure that all
traces of the electrolyte have been removed. (Traces of the solution left
on the clip will affect its performance if left on for extended periods).
Store the wire leads and batteries in a dry place.
Connecting The Electroplating Touch-up Brush
1. Attach the small alligator clip on the red wire to the brush.
2. Attach the large copper clip on the black wire the to part to be plated.
Using The Electroplating Touch-up Brush
NOTE: There are no fixed times for plating. Experience and practice
will guide you. Do not stroke the brush as if to paint the surface.
1. Dip the brush head into the electroplating solution.
Be careful to wet only the bristles.
2. Hold brush with bristles against surface to be plated. Avoid surface
contact with the metal parts of the brush. Brush the part very slowly
(for about 10 seconds).
3. Repeat as necessary until plating is the desired thickness.
