Will wire wheeling (semi lightly) remove the plating?

Asked by: Matt

Since this is a physical plating process it would have excellent abrasion resistance.

The kit is billed as "Tin Zinc" - two different metals. I assume the anode is an alloy of the two - what are the proportions of tin and zinc?

Asked by: DaveH

I have one of your zink plating kits that I have been using for several years to plate hardware for motorcycle restorations. I really would like to stop buying batteries. Can I use a 3 - 5 volt, 1 amp power supply?

Asked by: Kenny

We have to recommend the kit be used as intended. We apologize for the inconvenience.

can i use this on my 1911 pistol ?

Asked by: jerico

This can be used on the smaller parts of the pistol, it will give a tin zinc look and not the original look of the gun.

Can this plating stand up to the rigors of a wheel nut? Would the nuts stand up to a torque wrench and an impact gun being used?

Asked by: Scotsborn

Yes. electroplating will yield a very tough durable protective coating that would be able to hold up well under these applications.

Can I dip in yellow chromate after plating with tin zinc?

Asked by: Jaybart

You may be able too but we have never tested this process to ensure it works.

During storage some of the solution settles on the bottom of the container as sediment that does not remix when shaken. What is the effect on plating without the sediment that has settled during storage and shipping? Should the solution be strained?

Asked by: VintageAmerican

The particles, in the solution that have settled to the bottom, will not harm the plating process. It would be very difficult to strain the sediment from the solution. As the solution is used it will eventually loose its ability to deposit tin/zinc.

About Eastwood Electroplating System Tin Zinc

This kit solves problems of sending parts out to expensive plating shops, or storing dangerous chemicals by allowing you to conveniently plate almost any metal part at home. This system brings a brilliant luster to properly prepared metal parts with a corrosion-resistant, protective plating resembling chrome but without the expense, hassles or hazards. Electroplating uses electric current to pull small amounts of metal from the positively charged tin-zinc anode bar through electrolyte solution and onto the negatively charged piece to be plated. The anode bar will last through dozens of parts.

The Tin-Zinc Plating Kit includes: 2 quarts of electrolyte (plating solution), anode bar, battery holder, funnel, a 100 gram tube of Autosol polish, an electroplating brush, goggles, pair of disposable gloves, and complete instructions.

Accessories

We recommend PRE Painting Prep (10041 Z) and Rust Remover (16027). Diamond Clear Gloss for Bare Metal (10200Z) be applied after plating for improved durability.

Safety

Always use the Tin-Zinc Electroplating System in a well ventilated area. The electrolyte solution contains Sulphuric Acid. Wear eye and skin protection. Keep a source of clean water nearby to immediately rinse off any splash.

Warranty

Made in the USA. 30 Day Eastwood Warranty.

Application

This kit will plate steel, brass, & copper (no aluminum or die cast). Parts must be thoroughly degreased and derusted before plating. (We recommend PRE Painting Prep (10041z) to thoroughly clean the bare metal part. A clear coat like Diamond Clear Gloss for Bare Metal (10200Z) will improve durability. The Plating Solution typically has a cloudy appearance, and should in no way inhibit performance. Agitate slightly before plating. Store Electrolyte in it's original chemical container and place in a sealed plastic bag, between 55 & 95 degrees F. Use in well ventilated area. Avoid contact with electrolyte.
