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

Thanks for checking out my new channel! If you have ideas how to improve these videos, let me know. I will try to figure out best way of doing this type of videos without changing my style too much.

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 😁✌️

An old magazine article I read on plating a hammer indicated a better plate if a copper plate was applied first to ferris objects. Great video, thanks.

Thank you neighbour (greetings from Sweden). Thanks to you I successfully nickelplated an old wristwatch from the mid 50s (Atlantic Milano) after I carefully took off the old damaged plating and polished the brass basemetal up to mirrorfinish. I am very greatfull and I wish you the best.

Thanks. Some metals are much harder to plate or they need liquids that produce dangerous fumes but at least nickel, copper and zinc are easy and all can be done like this if you just change the nickel to other metals

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 perfectly agree, the last and only time I smoked close to a charging lead battery (which release hydrogene the same way), it exploded and I ended with my clothes looking like a fish net...
Thanks for all this info. I dunno when I'd ever need to nickel plate an object, but it's good to know for the future. Doesn't seem too difficult. It might be cool to restore some items one day.

I have a bike it was like new 5yrs ago.. 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..
A lot of thanks for the video, friend. An easy, fast and effective way for nickel plating.
This is fantastic odd fellow, I have tried a similar method of electrolysis with a sodium carbonate (washing soda) solution to remove rust from tools and parts, it works great. You should do a video on that.

nickel coating process is very well and intelligibly painted, thumbs up
Very informative, With all required materials needed - the most important is how to make the solution which most videos don't specified clearly, You find the experiment is dysfunctional and ineffective, so you start searching again, most important no Talk or scream. Thank you🎣
Such a well done tutorial, I'm restoring a 1973/4 YAMAHA AG100a, I was going to send parts off for nickel plating, not now though, thank you 👍 🙂 👏

Awsome man thanks for the brush up. I haven’t done this in one long time ago.
I just thought of it, that if you solder a wire to an inconspicuous inner part of an object you can connect your alligator to it so as not to leave unplated spots where the electrode attaches. Great video. I want to replate an old metal 1950’s kitchen coffee, tea container and my search led me here. Thanks.
Wow super cinematography.,😁
Thanks for the vid man, cheers from Brazil
Thanks, now I want to try coating my old watch in my balcony. Very useful info
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°
Opening and closing the alligator clips had me cracking up😁
Thank you for this video man! Bless you
Now this video was extremely helpful. Thank you for sharing these details. 🙂
Nice demonstration & helpful too !

What do I need to start studying to do this kind of work for a living? I love restoring things, especially those from the previous century. I'm guessing that you might have an engineering or mechanics background, maybe? Whatever the case, I absolutely love your videos, and I love learning from you with each new upload!

Awesome Craftsmanship ✨!!!
the nickel salts settle as time passes so a good idea along with a little heat is to mix the solution every couple of seconds/minutes as youre plating.
Awesome video!
Thanks 😊 I wanna to know how you do it. BTW you can show the process of whitening some pieces with the leds.
Thank you for this tutorial. I think i'll need to properly learn this method for future projects, can you recommend me the proper tools? Like the power supply instead of a charger.
