      Save yourself $100’s by buying buckets and the rectifier from the manufacturer. $168 from manufacturer instead of $250…quite a mark up. Muriatic acid instead of your scotch brite. Dissolves all grease, rust and plating and leaves a brand new bare steel fastener. No need for mechanical removal. Rinse in de-ionized water and baking soda to neutralize and it’s ready to go.

  • @muhammadbasir83
    @muhammadbasir83 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    Acetone here acted as cleaner/degreaser. But you still need to etching it with muriatic acid/HCL to create rough surfaces(at microscopic level) so that the zinc particle adhere strongly the surface. I am telling this as my point of view as an ex electroplating operator in the big multinational japanese factory.

      @@codyrhoades483 I am not sure about zinc plating durability bcoz I worked at Nickel electroplating. This kind of materials need to be rinse/ wipe after contact with corrosive materials. Salt water will always find its way to get below the plating surfaces if its not rinse.

      Was just going to say the same. Muriatic acid is the ticket for dissolving rust and old plating leaving the original bare metal. Rinse in de-ionized water and baking soda and it’s ready to go. Skip all the other bs with the scotch brite pads. Buy the supplies separately. Save yourself $150 on the kit buy buying the rectifier from the manufacturer and all your buckets and the aquarium pump separately. Get the zinc plate and the mixtures from Caswell and you are ready to go

      Vapor blasting or dry blasting isn’t good enough? I haven’t checked in a microscope after sandblasting but for the naked eye, it looks ultra clean after blasting. Acid vs blasting; what’s best?

    • @barrymergen6345
      @barrymergen6345 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@RobertDaveMyrland absolutely not saying it’s “good enough” especially vapor blasting. But sandblasting or dry blasting does leave a rougher texture. For the ease, cost and the end result it’s hard to beat muriatic acid and then a baking soda/distilled water dip and dry. Then end result is all previous zinc plating and rust dissolved away and left with a perfect bare steel part to plate. Literally takes minutes in the acid…so I guess pick your poison

    Another home run Charles! I have the Caswell kit as well, I love the blue and yellow chromates. The blue matches the stock finish on most every Kawasaki I’ve ever done and adds another layer of protection. Highly recommend the yellow for things like swingarm axle brackets, brake pedal clevis, etc.
    Keep bringing these bikes back to life!

      I haven't tried the blue, but I've spent countless, and I do mean countless hours with the black on the yz300 and several customer engine fastener kits.

      Zinc by itself is not very durable, you need to use chromates after plating. If you look at any zinc plated (other than hot galvanized) hardware you can see a blue tint to them; that clear aka blue chromate. I also use their brightener solution, not sure if that was mentioned in the beginning.

    I started doing this, but cheaper to buy new bolt, versus matl and labor. That bolt is a few bucks, now for big long engine mounting bolts that cost $10 to $20 or are no longer available, this may work. Also, you can vapor blast and then use crystal clear paint from eastwood. A thin coat will take torque from wrench for one time tightening…

      Thanks! Probably similar although some might like the slight difference and finish between one or the other better, than one or the other.
      I believe zinc has better corrosion resistance. Where nickel might get pushed off of a bolt by corrosion underneath it, zinc would remain the sacrificial coding that the corrosion “goes to” to attack instead. Even on a partially plated zinc bolt.
      For example

      All you need to bleed your brakes in just a few short minutes is a mighty vac. If you have an air compressor, you can even get one that is pneumatic. Either way they are both kick ass and get the job done super fast.
      If you still can't get pressure after getting clean and air free fluid through the line, try tapping your master cylinder a little bit with the rubber end of a screwdriver while pumping the lever. You'll see more bubbles escape.
      If that doesn't work, zip tie your lever compressed into your handlebar overnight. It will be ready to go in the morning after a few primes and pumps.

      @mxrevival  ปีที่แล้ว

      YES! I learned a new trick recently, go to the hardware store and get yourself some muriatic acid. Pour it into a bucket with a lid.
      You can dip your parts into that one by one on a little copper wire. It is insane, like piranhas attacking fresh meat. The zinc comes off in seconds.
      DO NOT BREATHE THE OFF-GASSING.
      I'm not sure which episode it was, but you can see me doing it in one of the 1989 Suzuki RM 250 videos. I think it's the very last one I've done.
      Back to the bucket, you want this so that you can throw the lid on it and store the muriatic acid because it only comes in a screw top gallon. Have fun, and again, do not breathe the off-gassing!!

  • @MrMurdamass

    Do you have to do one bolt at a time or how do you do the math to plate more than one item at a time for the amps needed

    • @mxrevival
      @mxrevival  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      When you do your regular amperage calculation for a bolt, you can also add multiple bolts to the plating batch IF the bolts you are adding are the same size as the first one.
      In this case, you would take your initial calculation, and simply multiply it by how many bolts or pieces of hardware are going in the tank.
      Example: let’s say a cylinder head bolt needs .2A of current during plating, and you have six of them total.
      .2A x six bolts = 1.2A
      If bolts (or whatever hardware) are not the same size, it is best to plate them separately or one by one.
      It does greatly affect the quality of the plating if you have pieces of hardware in in the tank that are quite different in size or surface area, rather, than one another.

      There are, but they all require about the same amount of work in the end. You can also send your hardware out to companies that will batch plate for you, but it never comes out like this. Just comes out “acceptable” which is usually enough for most people

      Sometimes, yes. That’s usually the route I will go with washers to save a ton of time. Over five dollars each on Rocky Mountain for washers!
      In the case of the 1990 CR500’s original hardware, which has a specific shape on some bolts, versus “buying new” (or just about any true vintage bike) that is not so. This tool is great for avoiding spending $70 on axles as well. Some of which are obsolete, or in very used condition one found on eBay.

Maybe delute it into used motor oil before recycling it? can you remove the surface oxidation from solid zink plates with a sander etc to get down to fresh material?
    Can you just use an old school, non electronic charger with a dimmer switch in line if you wanted to blow shit up like a meth lab on a budget? Does it constantly switch polarity during the process to remove and deposit the zinc better?

    Too bad this is such a labor and supply intensive process. I need to do this for 2 bikes. After that I may not need it anymore. I have used a local plating guy but there are problems beyond my control with doing it that way.

    • @mxrevival
      @mxrevival  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Stan, it's true. It's one of those jobs that truly takes a ridiculous amount of time if you want a certain (perfect) finish when it's DIY.
      And I know exactly what you mean about using a plating guy.
      A couple weeks ago, I had a customer send in 37 pieces or so from a YZ 125. The idea was to do the prep on a super high level exactly like I do when I am doing my own plating.
      My thought was that, if I can get that prep way better than the plating shop is going to do it, and I just send it out for them to plate it only, then it should come back looking tits just like my stuff.... Wrong.
      It was nice, and it was definitely a time saver as well as being pretty affordable.
      But when I open the box, sort of expecting to see something crazy nice like I'm able to do it in house by myself, one by one, by hand, the whole deal... It was a little disheartening to see that it was just okay.
      Clean? Yes. Good enough for most people? Absolutely. Looking at it and knowing it could be so much better at the expense of one or two days time had I done it myself... A little upsetting.
      Having said that it's more than most people could ever hope for and would be completely satisfied with, but when you know there's more in there it's a bit tough to swallow.
      If I can ever be of service with one of our plating kits, I'd be elated to help you out with one.

    Polishing zinc plated bolts isn’t a good idea, specially if you polished with a wheel and a polishing compound like that. Polishing removes the zinc platting, too much polishing erases it. While making it shiny is nice, it also shorted the life of the plating.

    • @mxrevival
      @mxrevival  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I like to look at “good” or “bad” as up to the builder to decide. You make a great point. It will come off if it’s ran too hard and gets too hot. The rouge will get buried into the zinc (fused) in my learning experience. So, going lightly will make it look great without removing the new plating. This is what I’ve learned through a few years of trial and error. These end up with a “thick” coat of zinc on them so to speak, VS a bolt from the hardware store, let’s say- for example. For what it’s worth, the rouge is also the finest compound for polishing and doesn’t offer much cut. Thanks for watching, Vini! 🙌

  • @1conu593
    @1conu593 ปีที่แล้ว

    What I don’t understand with your process is there is no passivate at the end of your plating line, i’m not an expert but on 99 % of youtube video about that kind of kit, user all states that zinc is very sensitive to humidity and will start corrode really fast which is why you passivate it in a clear blue solution or a yellow chromate solution. Is caswell kit different in anyway allowing you to skip this step ?

    • @mxrevival
      @mxrevival  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good question. Truth is, just like most people, I’m always learning as well. I have since started using blue chromate at the end of the zinc plating process. I had been doing a ton of black, not even realizing it was the true way to end the process properly.
      I think it would be really cool if you explained to everyone what passivation means if you have time 👌 purely for other readers value add, that sort of thing is awesome.

    • @mxrevival
      @mxrevival  ปีที่แล้ว

      I 100 percent agree with everything you said. Unfortunately, greatness and perfection come at a cost, which is your valuable time. I’m in the same boat, but nobody will do it even remotely close to as well if outsourced. I’ve tested it, even going so far as to do all of the perfect prep on a super high level before sending the parts out. I was pretty disappointed when they came back to be honest. More than good enough for 95% of applications, and they are protected again of course with fresh zinc. But the end result just wasn’t doing it for me. On the flip side, It’s very affordable and doesn’t take much time to throw them in the box versus doing them one by one yourself. That’s for sure! I will probably limit those outsources to a very particular situation, where the ultimate outcome doesn’t matter as much. Magazine bike on the other hand, all in-house for the ultimate control and result.
