Hey maye, can you make a really indepth video on electro plating please. There really isnt alot on youtube about the topic, even less so with stuff you can find out in the australian wilderness. Itll probably be bit of a hit for your channel too I had an entire bikes worth of stuff chromed and zinc plated and im honestly just not thrilled with it, neither the chrome or zinc. Cheers
Hi Jack. Thanks for tuning in. I’d love to be able to do such a video but the only home plating that I’ve had success with is with kits purchased from caswell etc. The acidic based homebrews I’ve tried for zinc plating produce a very dull finish. I recently experimented with an alkaline home brew which produced poor results also. I haven’t tried any nickel homebrews yet but when I do I’ll share the results if they are positive. And yes, finding a good plater is a journey in itself. Cheers Craig
@@BendigoHydroblasting Thanks for taking the time to reply, I appreciate the knowledge. Ive tried an acidic home brew and yeah it was almost like a hot dip finish. Looks like Ill be getting a caswell setup... You do really good work , one day I hope to have a full restoration and machine shop set up on abit of land... were really pushing the limits of what can be done on a residential quarter acre block.. cheers
You had me ready to subscribe halfway through. That ending though, bloody glorious.
Glory to Ukraine!

Great job & Happy Birthday Puna 👍
PS have you had any luck with the gold monster ?
Thanks mate and I’ll pass on your best wishes. As for the gold monster it’s a total fail on my part. I’ve affectionately renamed it the junkmonster 😂
Never heard about hydroblasting before. What kind of corrosive does the water contain?
No corrosive. Just water and a superfine glass bead. Thanks for tuning in👍. Craig
Good job Craig. Pity about the old nicks on the covers. Happy birthday to the Misso. Cheers from Townsville.
Thanks for watching mate. Puna said thanks 🙂
