This worked out so well for you I think I'm going to do my WWII German tank. I dug a hole in my backyard and made it deep enough to hang the German tank from 4 cables. It is going to work out great because the overhead power lines running to my house is perfect to hang that monster and supply the current needed. Great vid.

@TomlinsTE 5 лет назад

Now all you need is a tiny zink plate, a spork, and a small battery. And maybe some pickle juice...

@johnnycactus0 9 лет назад

i'm doing my whole bike....as i live in britain i've simply attached the zinc to my bike in situ and plugged a lead in from the house mains electricity and am now allowing the rain outside to work it.s magic!!! thanks ichiban!!!

@IchibanMoto 9 лет назад

johnnycactus0 Awesome ! and that reminds me to pick up one of those adapters to convert my American voltage to British Imperial voltage

@TheWolf1251993 7 лет назад

Hi cactus I'am Taiwanese biker. I live in a island surrounding the sea and lots of rain with high humidity air. Could you tell me more detail about this? I can't understand " in situ" and "plugged a lead in from the house mains electricity" Thank you.

@stuarttrewern 7 лет назад

NB friendly heads up to our murican friends , UK electricity can give off vapours, (best to leave a door for window open) if there is a build up of these vapours it can start to reverse the process of plating. In extreme cases you could loose the whole bike when attempting this way, apart from the rubber and plastic items.

@nonetaken7873 9 лет назад

It looks real, but is this a joke? At 2:42 the sacrificial zinc plate wasn't even touching the battery wire it was supposedly attached to. The battery wire wasn't stripped where it went through the hole in the zinc plate. The copper wire that was exposed looked to be too high to touch any of the zinc plate.

@RickMurphy66 8 лет назад

Clearly the wire was stripped and tightly contacting the Zinc. Not sure who's glasses you had on but maybe you should consider trading them old one's in for a new pair.

@nonetaken7873 8 лет назад

+Rick Murphy Wow, why are you being such a dork? Anyway, at 2:42 everyone can clearly see the wire is not stripped for it's loop through the zinc anode plate and the little bit of wire that is stripped at the end is barely if at all touching the zinc anode.

@RickMurphy66 8 лет назад

+NoneTaken Shit, your completely correct. Guess i need to get an updated pair of glasses.

@masonringbinder684 8 лет назад

I watched all your vids soda blasting , plating and sonic cleaning and have decided to zinc plate my car. I don't have any money to buy zinc but I remembered you said boats have them. So I'll put some vinegar and soda in the trunk and drive my car off a quayside next to a boat and hook it up to an overhead powerline then I'll have a rust free car. Thanks Ichi.

You will have to put them in the vibrating parts cleaner to remove the "crusty" first. [gotta see that]

Soak it wid pickle juice for 1day then let your wife taste it if its ready to get plated or not and also no shower before and after
