- We are gonna make nickel plating solution so we can start plating all sorts of zippos and customizing them.
Check out how I nickel plate an image on a zippo ! • How To Nickel Plate An...

Nice video simple and straight to the point 5 stars for you dude!!!
A tip: you have current display on your PSU - don't ladle in a random amount of salt (you put a huge amount in), instead switch supply on before adding salt then stir in small amounts of salt to dial up the current you want (I would recommend a good deal less than boils the solution!).
That’s interesting I made a nickel sulfate solution and used platinum as an inert anode. It’s a little different but matches my needs. I like this for common applications though!
Thanks for sharing this with everyone. I will add that Iodized salt contains additional compounds such as potassium iodide, dextrose, and calcium silicate to prevent clumping and add iodine. These additional compounds can introduce impurities into your plating solution, potentially affecting the plating process and the quality of the plated surface.
The legend nickel plating a zippo
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Waiting for the nickel plating.. keep up the good work
This is why I love this channel
You will get a better result if the item and the solution is preheated. Even, hot. It expands the metal to allow the plating to absorb
Very helpful! What method do you use to clean the cathode and anode prior to plating?
Thank you
Great video, going to be doing mine today....
so we can do it ourselves at home.... thanks for the explanation
awesome stuff
Best informational video. Thank you
Also, can this be used for brush plating? thanks again.
Works with copper as well
Very Nice! AND HOW YOU DO THE GOLD?
Nice video.
cool! can a guy use a simple auto battery charger at 12v and 2A setting to do this?
Thanks for sharing 👍 I Liked and Subscribed
Cool video
I'm beginning my plating journey...
Which company did you get the power supply from? Just the listing item name from ebay or amazon would be very helpful.
Thank You!
Is it still good to use for gun slides?
i bought a 30vdc bench supply on amazon still can get the green solution same mix as you are using
Nice
What do you use for a power supply
Make sure to check out the new Zippo Fanatic 77 Outdoors channel as this old one was hacked. Just search in the youtube search bar and be sure to include the new outdoor part. He's back! Let's help him get the channel rebuilt!
how long will the solution last when you start plating without doing this procedure again? Thanks
It never gets old. Only more emerald green.
Does this work for magnesium? I just tried it and have the solution but it looks clear like zinc does
What size jar did you use on this video (how much solution did it make)
Is sulphuric acid not better?
I notice in the video that the current jumps from 0.78 to 1.21 after a cut. Does the electrolyte cause that as it gets more concentrated or did you add more salt?
The salt creates conductivity. Once the nickel is infused, it becomes conductive on its own.
hi love this every time i try to make the solution i have to keep ajusting the vdc and amp and cant get the green sloution the nickel plates are well worn can you adivse
How ratio for vinegar and salt.
It make sense the vinegar and salt go together and become very conducive. And I assume is green because they have a little copper from the cathode and anode. I find it very mesmerizing to look at the little hydrogen bubbles. Awesome video!
Huh
Actually, copper makes the solution blue
This might be working 15 volts when making the solution. However, when plating a piece you can only go up to 4.5 volts. Otherwise the piece turns black.
How about changing the anode and cathod after a while?
good alcohol mix nickel solution and vodka
Gotta link to that type of power supply?
1000% this guys from canuckistan! :)
Can the polarity on the anode and cathode be reversed during the process without ill effects on the electrolyte you're making? Thanks
Yes
If hanging nickel plate in electrolyte on copper wires and the wires contact the liquid, will it ruin the nickel electrolyte?
No. The copper gets nickel plated also.
First clue was the Windsor Salt Ehhh!
How many times the solution can be used?
Anti iron solution meking process plg sir
Great video. How do you filter out the deposits? Thanks.
Good afternoon
is it worth it to make when you can buy already done plating nickel bath which cost almost nothing or the same as making it by yourself?
For was quality Bright Nickel Plating Solution you will pay $30 a pint $80 a quart Ii n USA
Can I use sulfuric acid instead of the vinegar?
I think that is optimal.
Very interesting video. Is it possible to use a car-battery-charger as a power-supply? It delivers approx. 14 - 15 volts... Best regards, Andreas
Yes it’s okay
Nickel plating everything when I do this
I have some old Canadian nickels which are supposed to be .999 nickel. Could I use them as a anode?
Yes if they are solid and not plated.
which material use in anode and cathode
They are Nickel.
Yoyo
My battery is 200v 100amp battery i think it can handle it lol
NEED A SPOON!!! ( TEASPOON , TABLESPOON. ) WHICH ONE?????
would this recipe work if tin or palladium is used instead?
Did you ever find out? I would also like to know.
You should lead plate a zippo
@@ZippoFanatic77 I said lead because it's toxic lol but it would be very interesting to see a zippo made completely out of uranium 238
@@ZippoFanatic77 maybe I will try to do it at some point
If the zippo is stainless or chrome... does not work
How do nickel playting more video
Keeping us in suspense eh? I want to see what happens next d@mmit lol. So once you brew this up is it only good for a time? Or can you use it repeatedly?
Repeatedly
Just to let you know, the anode is the negative and the cathode is the positive. obviously it's just a word so it doesn't make anything here different.
According to the encyclopedia Britannica "In a battery or other source of direct current the anode is the negative terminal, but in a passive load it is the positive terminal. "
It makes a difference. The negative wire attaches to the piece you want to plate. Notice the positive plate was drastically reduced the negative plate had buildup. It was burnt nickel. If he would have made the solution using 200 mah and not 1.2 amps, the nickel on both sides would be pretty. However, it would have taken a day or more to make the solution that green.
