Easy copper plating and nickel plating！Hydrochloric acid,Copper sulfate,vinegar 

Cool video, but bro always add acid to water. If you did that with a stronger acid, it would heat up and sputter violently, possibly giving you some serious burns.

Forget the volts! It's the amps that do the plating!

Thanks for nice app God bless you.Mohammad Hussein from Iran 🇮🇷

Thanks for copper plate with hydrochloric acid idea.

Fast and to the point. Cheers 🍻

Thanks for your video!

A couple of points that i don't agree with. I mean not too disrespect!! You didn't cover the whole spanner, you used to much salt, For a better result you need a warm solution about 40 Celcius, And also the wires you hang your spanner on can be of any metal but the other side should be the metal you are plating with and last point is that if you want a nice result you could lower the voltages and nickel plateing on a slower rate. It wil become more smooth. And i would nickel plate on 3Volt for more than 4 hours. Also i would use clear cleaning vinnigar :) Hope these pointers help you and others. Thank you for the video. Greetings,, Kitty.

thank you for this video.

Always add the acid to the water, not the other way around. Now 10% HCl is not that bad, but if you use higher concentrations acid you can get HCl gas in your lungs. If you use Sulfuric acid as in Auto batteries it can spatter acid out of the container, burning holes in everything, including yourself because of the heat forming in the mixing process.

Best video with best steps and explanation.. I'll waiting for plating alumunium

This is a very, very, very good video. Thanks for sharing.

Tip for you before you plate chrome needs stripping use caustic soda and stainless steel anoid and reverse the polarity so spanner is positive and stainless steel anode is negative this will dull the chrome ready for plating copper or nickel

Thank you

Wow that was great I learned a lot

I know if I keep trying I'm going to get this right.

one like from pakistan. thanks for contributing knowledge.

great informative and helping video. do guide how to do either gold plating or golden imitation polish/colour?

nice

Nice video

Good !

Nice video I have a question if you was to nickel plate that copper object in your video is there a way to reverse the effect and unplate the nickel off the copper ???

Do a golf club then use it to play. Let's see how it holds up to the punishment.

Your great sr venderful

Super

Caso eu queria um niquel fosco? Qual seria o procedimento?

Great video! Easy and inspirational! Going to try it this week. Is the second copper plating durable enough to use on a hammer? What about a golf club? Will it wear off or be removed if “hit” a lot or will it stay? As long as I seal and wax it. Just curious as to what to expect. Thanks.

I am trying to plate pot metal door handles with terrible results. It seems I will need to do a flash copper. Is method 1 using hydrochloric acid considered flash cooper? I dont want to get into the cyanide type if I can help it.

Why you can't chrome plating like nickel?

Great

Thank you for the best electroplating tutorial in the world. Can I plate nickel directly onto steel? If I may ask, I want to nickel-plate Vespa exhaust to stop rust and I've heard that copper-plated steel makes a galvanic cell, where the steel is a sacrificial element.

Wow!!! Excellent video! I have been using chemicals to dye woods for years and make my own solutions. I used to have old hardware treated by a guy that was in L.A. and worked for all the designers but I never tried it myself. I have some screws I need to get back close to the nickel plate you have there but I have one problem the owner of this antique table had soaked the hardware in a solution of white vinegar so it’s all black. Can I use this process on the steel and some maybe brass also or do I need to separate them? Thanks again. Great stuff

Sir i am from india.. yellow chromate plating please Can you show me ..?

Great video. Does the metal weaken? Can I use this technique to copper plate the wheel lug nuts on my car?

What’s the best type of brass Pickling solution before you Nickel plate the brass? I’ve read (Sodium Hydroxide) (Sulfuric Acid) & (HCI) ???? Thanks!

That copper would wipe right off the steel spanner

Does this work with 925 silver?

Can you list the brand of the degreaser that you used? Also does normal brake cleaner work?

Great vidio, sir how to cuper plating (coper anodizing) aluminium.

Ok

Dang what did you use to polish ? Came out shinny af

What is compound

Sir polishing compound chemical

Can I do nickel plating on iron? I'll clean the iron till it shines and do thicker plating but will it bear heat because it's near engine of my bike also tell me how long the plating going to last!? Thanks!

What ampere

Brother, what is the name of the compound used at 6:04?

🖖 👍 Is it possible to use alternatives to hydrochloric acid, like zinc chloride or Ammonium Chloride? 🤔

Very instructional, but for the sake of your solution not exploding due to exothermic reaction. ALWAYS add acid to water. Muriatic you might be OK, as it is diluted but if it was nitric/hrdrofluoric, or a stronger acid like that, you could be in trouble. Appreciate the video tho

Sir procedure of brass plating ? Please mention here its link

Bro, excellent video, thank you for sharing this and helping people out in a way that they can understand clearly. I don’t want to sounds like pecker so I apologize in advance if I do but there are a couple things you might want to consider, First, I’d double or triple layer the gloves, that way contaminated gloves can be removed and you won’t have the impossible fight of putting another pair on over damp/sweaty hands. Is also nice to be able to remove the contaminated pair and have a nice clean pair ready to rock. Next, you should always add the acid to water to prevent a run away exothermic reaction; granted you were using a toilet cleaner for the HCL (I assume) but straight muriatic acid or sodium hydroxide can be purchased over the counter so if someone was trying to emulate this process they could be in a world of hurt. “And the Darwin Award goes to” I lastly, when I’m plating like this I’ve noticed that 15v goes quite a bit faster without sacrificing quality and looks.

Cardinal Sin - add chemical to water "always" - fail! - otherwise great presentation.

It becomes copper?

How to nickel plated on fasners in quantities

Dont add water in acid. Its always acid into water. I get that its diluted but its something that can be dangerous for people that find it more concentrated

No, no, study lab procedures! Never add water to acid, only add acid to water! Lab rules are paid for in blood! Don’t pay again!

You didn’t copper plate shit! First that spanner was chromed and under chromed finishes there are nickel and copper layers. All you did was disolve the cheap thin layer of chrome exposing the copper beneath. And for electroplating the positive goes to the piece.
