How to make simple DIY nickel plating set up - Easy Electroplating for Beginners

In this video I will show you how to make a very simple nickel plating set up and how I plated I lighter I restored. Nickel plating is process of electroplating where nickel is deposited on an item with electricity.
What you'll need:
Nickel anode: amzn.to/2ro0cAo
Power source: amzn.to/35zDBzT
Wires: amzn.to/2rjOlU4
Alligator Clips: amzn.to/2rlg8nf

    This is the 10th video on nickel plating that I’vr watched... I have finally gotten a clear and straight guide on how this is done. The other videos had too much blabbing and monotonous music... Thank you for explaining things the way you do. Some of us just enjoy the silence and little sounds of simplicity.

    For best results: use hydrochloric acid as the electrolyte solution to obtain nickel chloride. During this first step, switch + and - each 30/60 minutes. You can set up a system with a relay to do this automatically. Let it run several hours until 1 or 2 days depending on the quantity, until you see a VERY dark green color, that means that your electrolyte solution is enough saturated. At this point you can keep doing the second step as shown in the video. BE VERY CAREFUL, WEAR PROPER MASK AND GLOVES, KEEP THE ROOM VENTILATED. ACID IS CORROSIVE, so take care, the electrolyte preparation is better to do outside (that smoke too is quite corrosive, metal parts around the area may begin to rust after 1 or 2 days) For best results, a copper layer is also recommended before the nickel plating. Cheers 😁✌️

    Everyone should remember, that the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen makes a detonating gas, especially in 2:1 proportion. That gas is very dangerous cause it's very easy to detonate, there would be enough just one spark. So the ventilation is not just recommended, it is ablolutely necessary! P.S. Thanx for video, simple, short and clear. Salute form Russia ;)

I stored it in the garage when I pulled it out recently I was feeling bad about the rusted Parts and I had not properly cleaned and polished it prior to storage. So it will need cleaning and electro-plate. Florida humidity sux... I'm 60 so many times I have seen stuff go to rust.. well FIX it or forget it. ✌️ have a great year..

    Hey there, you should make a Hullcell test to see the best results for your nickel solution. You can in crease the shining of the plated nickel layer by adding saccharine ;-) add prop to reduce the surface tension and the air bobble during the plating will be smaller -> higher current -> more speed and better surface. A good temperature would be 60 C°
