Wow this is such a great tutorial. Really appreciate the use of materials found around the home!! I wanted to gold plate a thick copper button on a british made mechanical vape, now I'm saved from the constant patina and washing off copper smelling fingers every half hour. In all, thank you. You are a Godsend sir.

Hi! Thanks for the video. I got a bit confused when you gold plated the stainless steel bullet. You first cleaned it, then nickel and then gold? Or did you skip the nickel step ? Thanks

@KCreations4You 2 года назад

I'm glad you enjoyed it. You do still apply Nickel to it before the gold. make sure whatever you are plating is a smooth as possible for the best outcome. The bullet was already mirror finish so it didn't require any prep.

Hi! Thanks for the video, I appreciate the tutorial. I'm a little confused and just want to make sure I understand. Was it the zinc strip or just the negative wire itself that was attached to the pliers holding the penny? I have an enamel pin missing gold plating on one of the sides so I could attach the zinc (or wire) to the pin directly given I have the space to do so, correct? I would first nickel plate it using the nickel strips, and then gold plate using the ss butter knife.

@KCreations4You Год назад

Just the wire the nickel strip is wrapped in the cotton. I might do a fallow up video on this as it was one of my first videos. Would you be interested?

Agate does not conduct electricity so it will not plate without a conductive layer added and you would still want to nickel plate in less the part added is nickel. I am working on a video like that soon.

I have a handbag where the hardware is gold plated and quite worn. Would I have to first remove the gold plating, and then plate the whole thing? Also, I don't know how to take it off the leather, so I like your method of brushing on, instead of dipping. So you know what the base metal would be? Thanks.

@KCreations4You 2 года назад

If its real gold there would be no need to remove it but If its chipping I would bet its fake. If not the metal under should be ok to plate if not warn through. Brushing is way cheaper than dipping IMO.

Great video! Do you know if it’s possible to electroplate gold or silver onto nickel brass? I haven’t been able to get it to work with silver (Using a different method than this of course). Maybe through an application of a metal that will stick first? If so are there any that will also allow gold or silver to adhere on top of that?

@KCreations4You 2 года назад

I would think you could electroplate nickel onto brass then plate gold onto that if not maybe plate copper onto it then nickel then gold. I don't know for sire though. Nickel plating solution is pretty cheap though and Copper sulfate can be found at most stores that sell plant stuff.

@skyboundpictures5951 3 года назад

Your gold solution is red and the link you offered has no color (I bought it already). Also you are talking about two different methods. At the beginning you show the solution method in your explanation but then demonstrate the brush method. Now, because of this video I bought the gold solution you offered the link to and planned to do the brush method as you demonstrated. Also you don’t say what side is positive and negative when plating. Which goes on the knife and which goes to the penny. In the solution method the receiving item is negative. From what I see in the video, you say the white stripe was positive and that went to the penny (the receiver). Does the brushing method work in reverse?

@KCreations4You 3 года назад

Thank you, its good to know looks like the listing has changed in the last year. I will update it when they get more as looks like all are out of stock. If the product anywhere is clearly different than what you expect I would always recommend looking into it before buying it. More than likely what you bought is gold suspended in a different chemical and should work similarly however you will want to check the msds and look up all safety measures as well as contact the manufacturer. There are mainly 2 types out there and mostly the clear/blue are safer. I can't say for sure though. I made clear I am no professional and I don't know what you were redirected to and purchased. For the polarity the object being plated should be on the negative side. I mention this at 1:20 of my video if you need a time stamp. Hope this helps. Stay safe.

@KCreations4You Год назад

Ill give it my best. To apply gold to gold you do not need any additional layers like nickel. You do want it to be extremely clean and free of any oil. If its not good clean it can look dull. Denatured alcohol should clean it good. after cleaning spraying it with distilled water it should not bead up. Then apply a layer to it. a one inch cube does not take allot however companies like the Gold plating services are getting cheap with the amount of gold in their produce and its constant taking more and more product to get the same result. when I did this video 25ml covered about 6"x6". You should check with them for coverage cause it can very. I'm not a pro just a hobbyist. I hope this helps.

What will happen if I burn a golden bracelet and then dip a fake ring into the gold?

@KCreations4You Год назад

I think if you burn a gold bracelet it will turn to a molten puddle of gold and if you dip a fake ring into it that would make the ring gold plated and a real ring but thats my thoughts. 😄

@Thalifeofaboss Год назад

Can I gold plate rims just as easy?

@KCreations4You Год назад

Same process but you would be there for a very very long time and it would cost allot. It is also harder on bigger objects to keep them as clean as you need to keep impurities out.

sorry i didnt get it. how is it possible there's no circuit running you just rub it with the one connected on the negative then you wipe it with the one positive there's no connection how can current flow in it

@KCreations4You 2 года назад

The negative is connected to the object to be plated and the positive is connected to the stainless steel butter knife.

Is the final coat Real GOLD plated?

@KCreations4You 4 года назад

Yes

@paulieboy4u 3 года назад

How long does the plating last please ?

@KCreations4You 3 года назад

Is all depends how many layers and what you use it for. Two layers on emblem would be years and years but on jewelry may only be a couple years if used every day so I would recommend 3 or 4 layers then. for decorations that are not handled I would say one good layer could last a lifetime. (I have not tested that yet) Hope that helps.

I've a set of darts I'd love to gold plate but they are 90% tungsten would that work? Also what would the wear be like ?

@KCreations4You 2 года назад

I believe you can use the same process as the chrome but not 100% I haven't done tungsten yet. As far as wear I have done necklaces and would recommend 3 layers or more depending how much you are going to use it. A necklace with 3 layers seems to last for a few years before needing touch up. A dart may be more wear as I think you twist in a throw? Once you have it plated allot of jewelers will touch it up for a reasonable price. For a ring my wife wears it was I think 60$ and looked new again.

@ds2985 2 года назад

@@KCreations4You thx for your reply. The darts hit off each other when they hit the board sometimes that's what I'd be worried about. Probably not worth it unless they where for show. Last ? Sorry. How much would it cost for me to do this to 3 darts they only 50mm long 6mm thick

@KCreations4You 2 года назад

@@ds2985 You wouldn't need allot of gold plating solution to do them. I believe in the video I had 25ml and gold plated way more that three darts. I see some small amounts on ebay for $50 but I would be concerned now that scams are at an all time high. I reordered the same stuff I used in the video a little while ago and it was watered down sorta speak. I didn't think about the darts hitting each other and I don't have a clue how they would hold up.

@summer-np6fx 3 года назад

You only used the positive wire. Nothing connected to (red)?

@KCreations4You 3 года назад

I'm holding one wire to the object and the other is on the object I'm using to apply (Butter knife/Nickel strips) the polarity depends on if your applying a coating or stripping. Think of it as the materiel is going to the negative side. I'm sorry I didn't explain it better as it was one of my first videos. I am looking at doing another video but on non conductive objects in the future.

If you gold plate a knife can you eat with it?

@KCreations4You 3 года назад

As far as everything I have read yes however it it is gold so it would wear very fast. I would recommend you do some research first though just to be confident yourself in your decision.
